[BSO Friends] BSO 3/14 event cancelled; Replaced by Wagner 3/21

[Tiankai Liu]

Dear Friends of the Arts,

With great sadness I regret to inform you that the BSO college card tickets
for this entire week have been sold out. It seems that the free market has
not played in our favor. Under the assumption that most of us have not
acquired tickets, I feel it is best to *cancel the March 14 event* we had
planned. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this undoubtedly causes.

As you may know, there is currently no sure way of foreseeing ticket
availability until the Monday before the concerts. So, with the caveat that
misfortune may befall us again, let us *reschedule* for *Thursday, March 21*.
The BSO will then be playing an *all-Wagner program* which promises to be
just as thrilling.

Same plan: dinner in 2-290 at 6pm, concert at 8pm. Please fill out the
above RSVP form, *even if you had signed up on the last one*, so we can get
an accurate count for dinner.

Yours truly,
Tk
