The First of Many?

Christian Tetzlaff has cancelled his upcoming performances in the United States, owing to the Trump administration's policies. That includes seven performances by the Tetzlaff Quartet–one was a San Francisco Performances appearance–and three concerto performances with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. He's on the Chicago Symphony schedule for 2025-26. I guess he will be their first program change.

I expect there will be more of these. News coverage:

If you have a ticket to the cancelled SFP concert, you have the following options:

·         Apply the value of the tickets toward another performance

·         Convert the value of the ticket purchase into a tax-deductible donation to San Francisco Performances

·         Request a full refund for the ticket purchase 

  Patrons may contact SFP regarding their chosen option:

·         By email: tickets@sfperformances.org (preferred)

·         By phone: 415.677.0325 (Mon-Fri, 11am - 5pm)
