Dear Arizona Winds Friends & Family,
As many of you may have already heard, on Sunday Governor Ducey announced that Arizona is following the CDC’s new COVID-19 virus guidance that large events and mass gatherings, to include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings & other types of assemblies, be cancelled. Out of an abundance of caution, and concern for the health and safety of our valued patrons, musicians, and the community, the Arizona Winds has regrettably decided to cancel our April 5th concert.
Doctors and experts all seem to agree that “social separation” is the best way to stem the spread of this deadly virus in the days and weeks to come. The CDC recommends this be in effect for at least the next eight weeks. In the weeks to come, we will continue to monitor local, state and federal recommendations related to the progress of this virus battle and we will let you know if we can proceed with our May 31st concert as we draw closer to that date.
Thank you all for your wonderful support. May God protect each of you and keep you safe and healthy!

The Arizona Winds is a 501 C(3) non-profit organization which presents a series of six free concerts each season and depends entirely upon the generous tax-deductible contributions of its patrons to sustain the superior level of performance thousands enjoy each year.
