CANCELLED: One Night Only: Norm Lewis
CANCELLED: One Night Only: Norm Lewis
Since our 2019-2020 season abruptly ended in March due to COVID-19, we have felt immense gratitude for the continued support of our loyal New York Pops audience.
We had hoped to proceed with our 2020-2021 season as planned. However, due to the ongoing restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Carnegie Hall has made the difficult decision to cancel all events through January 6, 2021.
For information about refunds for our cancelled concerts, please visit Carnegie Hall's website.
Thank you for your understanding as we maneuver this difficult situation together. We look forward to the day we can all share in the joy of music again.
In the meantime, if you would like to support The New York Pops, please consider making a donation to our Keep the Music Playing COVID-19 Relief Fund.
