Tonight’s Spokane Symphony concert, originally planned for Arbor Crest Wine Cellars, has been moved to the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m., not 7 p.m.

“We made the decision to move the concert indoors due to the extremely high temperatures expected today, which impact the patrons’ enjoyment of the music, and also affects the musicians and their instruments,” Spokane Symphony Executive Director Jeff vom Saal said on the symphony’s Facebook page. “We are also concerned about poor air quality. For all of these reasons, we feel that everyone will be more comfortable in the air-conditioned comfort of Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox.”

There are no refunds for this concert, though those with a lawn ticket for tonight are welcome to bring their ticket to next week’s Sunset Symphony at Arbor Crest, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m., in exchange for another lawn seat. Those with a table seat can bring their ticket next week in exchange for a lawn ticket as there are no table seats available.

Those with table seating who are attending tonight’s show at the Fox can sit in the orchestra level.

A selection of Arbor Crest wines and a limited selection of snacks and beverages will be available for purchase at the Fox. No outside food will be allowed.
