ASO develops virtual presence with modified 20/21 Season

During uncertain times, we grow, adapt and learn how to roll with the punches. Alabama Symphony Orchestra is doing just that with modified plans for the 20/21 Season. 

According to a press release from the ASO, previously announced 20/21 performances will be rescheduled for the 21/22 Season. Bummer, I know. But, ASO is using this unique opportunity to reimagine the current season and develop its online presence.

“Throughout the years the ASO has found numerous ways to change lives through music, which is why we are so excited to shift gears and interact with music lovers on a digital platform.”

Mark Patrick, Interim Executive Director and General Manager, ASO

Up Next for ASO

In the upcoming months, ASO will be providing a new and exciting virtual experience that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime. Why go out when you can stay in, right?

During this time, ASO will also work on developing digital content like educational programs and professional development designed for Alabama teachers and students. Programs can be accessed via ASO’s website and social media platforms. 

“As an organization, every step we take is planned with the Orchestra in mind so that our organization can evolve and adapt to our surroundings. This ensures that the ASO can continue to thrive for many years to come.”

Carlos Izcaray, Music Director, ASO

Stay tuned for January 2021 when the orchestra will offer a virtual film screening and Q&A panel.

What about the kids?

When talking about ASO, we have to include the incredible Alabama Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO). These talented young musicians will be virtual, too, with digital rehearsals, lectures, music theory classes and performances planned for fall 2020.
