The Tulsa Symphony Orchestra will present its first two concerts of the 2020-2021 season as outdoor events at ONEOK Field, home of the Tulsa Drillers baseball team. The season-opening performance will celebrate the 250th birthday of Beethoven, and will spotlight world-renowned pianist Yefim Bronfman who will play the historic Piano Concerto No. 3 in C-Minor that was premiered by Beethoven, as the soloist, in 1803. Daniel Hege, Principal Guest Conductor, will also conduct the turbulent Coriolan Overture and the captivating Symphony No. 7. The evening will close with a fireworks display.<\/p>\n

Masks will be required to attend, and social distancing will be accomplished by limiting ONEOK stadium\u2019s capacity to only 19%; therefore, tickets are limited. The stadium will also employ its disinfecting system and sanitary stations that have been used extensively at recent baseball games.<\/p>\n

From Tulsa World:<\/a>
\nKeith Elder, executive director of the Tulsa Symphony, said the decision to take up temporary residence at the baseball park was a way for the organization to put on concerts in a manner that would allow for social distancing and other safety measures necessary in light of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the reason why we decided simply to cancel our Symphony in the Park show, which was to be done at the Guthrie Green,\u201d Elder said. \u201cWe met with Dr. (Bruce) Dart from the Tulsa Health Department, and we realized it would be impossible to put that show on in a way that would keep both our audience and our musicians safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy having the shows at ONEOK Field, we will be able to maintain social distancing in how people will be seated, both in the audience and among the performers,\u201d he said. \u201cThe stadium seats about 8,500, and we\u2019re expecting about 1,700 for our concerts, so there should be plenty of room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Masks will be required of all attendees, Elder said.<\/p>\n

Patrons will be in the ballpark\u2019s regular seating, with the orchestra set up on the playing field. Elder said the orchestra is working with one of the top sound engineers in the country to ensure that the orchestra will be heard clearly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sound of the orchestra is incredibly important to us, and we\u2019re going to make sure it\u2019s the best it can be for these concerts,\u201d Elder said.<\/p>\n
