“Months after announcing it would attempt to have an in-person season starting in January 2021, the Bangor Symphony Orchestra will move its entire 125th season to digital platforms,” writes Emily Burnham in Thursday’s (11/19) Bangor Daily News (Maine). “The move comes as COVID-19 cases across the state and the nation continue to spike.… A free digital chamber concert is set for … Nov. 22, featuring BSO music director Lucas Richman on piano and Angel Hernandez on violin, Simon Bilyk on violin, Laura Gallucci on viola and Noreen Silver on cello…. A Feb. 12 [program will feature] pieces … by Swiss-American composer Ernest Bloch, pioneering African-American composer Florence Price, and J.S. Bach…. It’ll be followed by concerts on March 26, April 23, May 2 and June 18. The March concert will feature a new concerto by composer Reinaldo Moya [featuring] pianist Joyce Yang…. Each performance will be pre-taped at the Collins Center for the Arts, and will be available to watch for 30 days…. Should circumstances begin to change in the spring for restrictions on gatherings, BSO executive director Brian Hinrichs said the orchestra would begin to consider allowing people in to watch the concerts being taped.”
