While Saturday’s Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra virtual concert officially will conclude Garrett Allman’s 40th anniversary season, it won’t entirely be over and done with.
Pianist Stephen Beus had been scheduled to perform Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 2” as a guest soloist for this concert before the pandemic shutdown forced the symphony to cancel its live performances. Allman now is working to get Beus scheduled for next season if live performances are allowed to happen.
“That will be determined largely by Illinois College, because we prefer (performing in) Rammelkamp Chapel and we will abide by their policy,” Allman said. “So far that’s been no one’s allowed on campus except faculty, students, staff. We’re fully in agreement with them, so we will need to abide by their policies come September.”
