March 2022 Concert Canceled

The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers’ Board of Directors has reluctantly decided to cancel the March 2022 concert. With the rise of Omicron, we are unable to ensure the safety of our singers and music director during the rehearsals that were set to have begun in early January.  And possibly it still wouldn’t be safe for our audience, in March.

This is terribly sad, of course, as we were so looking forward to performing again following the success and much-needed solace of the holiday concert in December. But prudence and caution are what’s being called for now. And also patience and resilience.

We hope and expect to present the May concert as planned on May 14 and 15. Tickets will go on sale in late March. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
