    Princeton Festival June 2020 Season Cancelled

    Hardly surprising, given the circumstances, but The Princeton Festival has cancelled its June 2020 season. Some of the events may be rescheduled for the fall. You’ll find the complete press release below.


    PRESS RELEASE

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    April 6, 2020

    PRINCETON FESTIVAL CANCELS JUNE 2020 SEASON DUE TO COVID-19 VIRUS

    Events in Fall, Including Annual Piano Competition, Under Consideration


    PRINCETON, NJ (April 6, 2020) – The Princeton Festival (www.princetonfestival.org) today announced that it will cancel all 22 performances in its June 2020 season, along with all lectures, workshops, and special events scheduled for April through June, due to the coronavirus epidemic.

    “We are taking this action to protect our artists, staff, and audiences from the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus,” said Benedikt von Schröder, Princeton Festival board chair. “This is in accord with directives and guidelines issued by federal and state governments and health officials.”

    Events canceled include the opera La Traviata, the musical Into the Woods, the Latin jazz dance band Fleur Seule, a multimedia presentation, chamber music, and Baroque orchestral and choral programs. Current ticketholders will be offered options for redeeming, transferring, or donating the value of their purchases.

    Festival officials say they are looking at the possibility of presenting a few performance events in the fall, assuming the crisis is past. The popular fund-raising Gala, originally scheduled for April, has already been moved to October. The annual Piano Competition and some musical performances might also be rescheduled.

    “We appreciate the tremendous support from our patrons and donors who make it possible for the Festival to continue its mission to excite and inspire our community,” said Richard Tang Yuk, Executive and Artistic Director. “We’re planning for a brilliant lineup of events next June, and a fall mini-season would help everyone transition from disappointment to renewal.”

    More information on the cancellation of the June season, and on the Festival in general, is available at http://www.princetonfestival.org or by calling 609-759-1979.
