The concert will begin at 8 p.m. on Dec. 12 at the Sudbury Indie Cinema, 162 Mackenzie St. Tickets are $150 and are on sale at bit.ly/3kJghXr.

To ensure the safety of everyone, ticket sales are limited to 40 seats per concert.

Proceeds will help in ensuring future programming, operations and education opportunities provided by the SSO. A portion of the ticket price is eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

The concert will be presented by the SSO string quartet, which features Beth Schneider Gould (concertmaster), Melissa Schaak (principal second violin), Jamie Arrowsmith (viola) and Dobrochna Zubek (principal cello). They will be presenting a program that includes holiday favourites. The concert will also feature a solo flute performance by Karly Schofield. The program is roughly one hour long and will be presented without intermission.

Besides offering a special live performance, the symphony will be offering a truly memorable evening. It will be a chance for the audience to dress up and have a glass of bubbly while taking in the evening’s festivities. There will be a photographer on site to document the evening. There will also be a unique door prize: a painting created by Moniqe Legault on site while the musicians are performing. More will be unveiled as we get closer to this special night.

Sudbury Indie Cinema has put in place measures to maintain social distancing, implemented a mask requirement and has hand sanitizer available to patrons (among other measures). For any questions about the safety measures in place, please contact the cinema directly at development@SudburyIndieCinema.com. For more information, visit sudburysymphony.com.
