CANCELLED: ANA VIDOVIC’s CONCERT and FESTIVAL DAY (March 28, 29)

Dear PCGS community,

We regret to inform you that as a result of COVID-19 safeguard measures taken in the past few days by some of our venues (Mandel Theater – Drexel University) and out of an abundance of caution to safeguard our PCGS community across all ages, ALL PCGS 2020 FESTIVAL EVENTS ARE CANCELLED.  This includes both the Ana Vidovic concert on March 28 and the full day Festival day on Sunday March 29.

We are working with venues to reschedule Ana’s concert and will get back to you very soon with a new date and venue (likely in the Fall 2020) and how we will proceed with pre-purchased tickets for this concert.

All the pre-purchased tickets for the Festival Day on Sunday will be reimbursed.

Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send emails to:

Kevin J. Cope - president "at" phillyguitar.com

Fabrizio Franco - Treasurer "at" phillyguitar.com

These are exceptional times and we all ask for your patience, to be safe, and to look after one another.

Kind Regards

PCGS Board of Directors
