What are you doing to keep patrons safe?

In order to keep our patrons, musicians, and staff safe, the MSO is closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation and taking precautions as necessary. We are strongly encouraging a healthy and safe environment for everyone. This includes practicing social distancing, and may result in cancelling or postponing a concert.

The Gallo Center for the Arts is also taking extra precautionary measures by rescheduling concerts as necessary. Additionally, they are increasing and intensifying their cleaning protocols throughout the building. This includes disinfecting arm rests, door handles, handrails, counters, and other common surfaces after each performance. Additional hand sanitizer dispensers are being placed in the lobby as well as backstage.

How can I continue to support the MSO at this time?

If a concert you were planning to attend was cancelled and you are in a position to do so, you can donate the value of your ticket(s) to the Modesto Symphony Orchestra to advance the community and educational impact of the MSO. Their value is a tax-deductible contribution to the Modesto Symphony Orchestra.

As a nonprofit arts organization, the Modesto Symphony Orchestra relies on our patrons and community in which we serve. This is true now more than ever during this time of nationwide event cancellations as our community works to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Your support can help sustain the Modesto Symphony Orchestra through this uncertain time, and ensure that the MSO will be here to help continue enriching the lives of our community through music.
