Concerts and Events Calendar
Fall 2020 Season suspended
Dear FHSU Music and Theatre Community,
We are sorry to announce that we will be suspending our regular season of concerts and shows for the Fall 2020 semester. Due to the many health concerns and restrictions surrounding music making and public gatherings, we have decided that our first priority is to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty, and audiences. We will miss seeing all of you this semester, and we look forward to a day when we'll be able to welcome you back to a show.
