Peterborough Singers Cancel February Concert Due to COVID-19

The Peterborough Singers choir will not perform their February concert, “Music of Paul Simon” to help contain the spread of COVID-19 announced last week.

“While it is disappointing to cancel our February concert, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that we will perform for you again in May,” said Syd Birrell, Peterborough Singers artistic director. “But we were thrilled and grateful that we were able to perform not once but twice this season— and that some of you were able to attend those concerts.”

When Peterborough Singers and local health authorities deem if it is safe to perform, the choir will resume their performances according the release.

The choir will monitor the COVID-19 situation to determine if they will perform in May.

Two December concerts in Yuletide Cheer and Handel's Messiah are available online and a weekly choral music history video series starting on Wednesday on the Peterborough Singers’ Youtube Channel.
