I regret to inform you that, based on alignment with other events in the Tacoma area and recommendations of best practices from Pacific Lutheran University administration, we have decided to cancel this Saturday’s event due to the potential for COVID-19 transmission. Some of the clinic rooms are small, and with our anticipated large crowd from all over the state, this was a risk we didn’t want to take. Our highest priority is keeping our community safe.
I was so looking forward to this incredible day of music with you, and I hope to schedule a very similar event for next year.
If you have purchased tickets online, they will be refunded. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with more questions.
All my best,
Bonnie Whiting
