The Itasca Symphony Orchestra prepares the release of their first ever virtual holiday concert on Dec. 20
As with so many arts and educational organizations in 2020, the Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program has used creativity to persevere in the time of COVID.
Luckily, as a band of musicians, theyâre used to having to âplay it by earâ once and a while! Getting creative is what arts organizations do.
Shortly after their concert in February that celebrated Beethovenâs 250th birthday, the IOSP made the decision to cancel their May concert. With so much uncertainty surrounding the pandemic â including practice and performance space â it just didnât feel prudent to schedule a performance as if nothing was happening.
