“In some ways, it seems like the directors of Door County concert series are getting ready for their summer seasons just like they usually do,” writes Christopher Clough in Wednesday’s (3/10) Green Bay Press-Gazette (Wisconsin). “Door Community Auditorium is selling tickets for its schedule of national touring acts. Tickets also are available for Peninsula Music Festival’s traditional nine-concert season of classical music concerts by a full orchestra of about 80 musicians this August, also at the auditorium. Midsummer’s Music … is working to finalize its schedule…. The COVID-19 pandemic … made the auditorium and the music festival cancel their entire 2020 seasons…. From Aug. 3 to 21, the [Peninsula Music Festival] is scheduled to present the same nine programs … as were on the slate for 2020…. Executive Director Christoph Ptack said he hopes to be able to make a firm go-or-no decision by early May…. ‘If the restrictions [on audience size] are still part of the equation, then we’ll need to take a hard look at the viability of the series as it relates to the financial impact on the organization….. It’s about maintaining a calibrated organization that leads with artistic integrity and financial stability.’ ”
