Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota has announced the cancellation of the remainder of its regular 2019-2020 season. The decision was made in further response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding it. "Due to the unpredictability of when it will be safe to gather again, and also when our venues will be able to reopen, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of our regular season,” says Marcy Miller, executive director of Artist Series Concerts. “It’s not all bad news though,” adds Miller. “The July 28 performance at Michael’s On East as part of Florida Studio Theatre’s Suffragist Project is still scheduled and we are also delighted to announce that the Florida Jazzmasters concert with Dick Hyman, which had originally been slated for May 6, will now be the opening concert of our upcoming 25th anniversary season, which will be announced soon.”  Ticket holders for any of the above concerts will be contacted by Artist Series Concerts. Questions regarding tickets can be sent to donna@artistseriesconcerts.org. The organization is also working on a possible mini series later in the summer. “While right now our primary concern is for the safety and well-being of our community, we still also hope to be able to reschedule some of the cancelled concerts,” says Miller. “We’re all looking forward to being able to share exceptional and uplifting live music performances with our audiences again soon.”
