June 8, 2020–After considering all options in the current pandemic conditions, Dr. Tim Summerlin, Board President of Kerrville’s Symphony of the Hills, has announced a modified lineup of concerts for the 2020-2021 season.

The Symphony plans to present the following four-concert season:

December 3, 2020–Ode To Joy


January 9, 2021–POPS The American Songbook


February 25, 2021–Homecoming


April 29, 2021–The Majesty of Brahms

The opening concert, scheduled to take place October 1, has been suspended for reasons of the health of performers and audiences, according to Summerlin.

“We are moving ahead on the Symphony’s plans for its 20th anniversary season,” Summerlin said. “We have all observed lockdown, gradual reopening and monitoring of data to help us plan the future. Our organization is strong and committed to offering a new season of music, taking into account the well-being of all.”

The revised schedule is requiring rearrangement of musical programs and instrument sections. Details will be released as they emerge. The board is also considering additional opportunities to bring chamber and symphonic talents to the community for free concerts.

Patron renewals and season ticketing options will be announced in August.

“We thank all of our audiences and supporters for their interest and solicitude,” Summerlin said. “Rest assured, we are attentive to pandemic conditions as well as the music we share with you, and we will proceed responsibly.”
