NOTIFICATION OF RESCHEDULE to MAY 4TH for the SOLD OUT - Songs of Spring Piano Concert on the River Deck event:

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has issued a hazardous weather outlook and red flag warning today, Sunday 4/27, for Pueblo: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.2805839&lon=-104.6237794

Due to the forecast of high winds, dry conditions, and a red flag warning, we’ve made the tough decision to postpone to our backup date — Sunday, May 4th, from 2 to 5 PM. All ticket holders will be emailed and given a phone call today, Sunday April 27th, with this reschedule update.

We were really looking forward to seeing everyone today, but safety has to come first. With gusts forecasted up to 40 mph that could cause falling tree limbs, it just wouldn’t be safe — or enjoyable — for guests, volunteers, musicians, or staff.

PLEASE NOTE: tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is due to the cost and time put into the planning for the event. If Songs of Spring on May 4th is also canceled due to weather, your ticket will be gratefully accepted as a donation to support our nonprofit programs, so we can keep offering special community events like this in the future.

We really appreciate your understanding, and we’re crossing our fingers for a beautiful day on May 4th!
