In light of the city’s continued restriction on public attendance in its facilities, and out of our desire to respect the safety and well-being of the community, the Amarillo Symphony has decided to proactively shift the January, February, March 2021 subscription concerts to September, October, November 2021. The live concert season will now run April, May, June, September, October, November 2021. Current subscribers will retain their tickets and seats in the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts through November 2021—at no additional cost.

The Symphony is pleased to announce that the talented orchestra will continue to be led by Maestro Jacomo Bairos until November 2021, when his incredible tenure with the Symphony comes to an end.

Executive Director Andrew Hay said: “I think there is a silver lining to waiting a bit longer for live concerts and enjoying digital musical experiences in the meantime. The Panhandle community will hear more music in the coming months from this distinguished orchestra and conductor than at any point in the past 96 years of the Symphony’s existence.”

As the Symphony waits to reconvene in the hall, the orchestra and Maestro Bairos will continue to provide digital content in January, February, and March. The digital series will take a deeper look into the Symphony, starting with a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. As in the past, the digital experiences will be released via email and social media.

It is encouraged that the Symphony website be consulted in the coming weeks for further updates and information.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, staff members, Maestro Bairos, and the orchestra musicians of the Amarillo Symphony, we want to thank the people of the region for their continued patience, support, and patronage during this time. Here’s to a Happy New Year filled with music!
