REILLY ARTS CENTER / OCALA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
MOVES TO AID IMPACTED ARTISTS AND EVENT STAFF
OCALA, Fla. (March 16, 2020) – As implications of COVID-19 have brought many aspects of the entertainment industry to a halt and left countless musicians and industry professionals, who work as independent contractors, without work, the Reilly Arts Center has responded with an innovative livestream service which hopes to act as a lifeboat of paid work, in a safe and creative environment. The first live streamed performances will take place on Friday, March 20 at 7:00 PM. See the end of this release for details.
This live stream series is one of many steps the Reilly, managed by the Ocala Symphony Orchestra, Inc., is doing to preserve our valued artists and partners. For the safety of guests, musicians, and staff, the Reilly Arts Center has cancelled a number of events including the March 21 and 22 performances of “The Life and Times of Beethoven” by the Ocala Symphony Orchestra. The performance was set to employ 52 musicians and entertain more than 900 guests. Understanding the impact of this cancellation, the Reilly/Ocala Symphony Orchestra leadership made the decision to still pay the contracted musicians their full service pay. We stand by our artists and staff. Our commitment to these programs does come at a cost.
The Reilly Arts Center Board of Directors has provided an initial pool of donations to help launch the live streaming program and the Marion Cultural Alliance has also approved $2,000 in grant funds to be appropriated toward the project. Additionally, when a patron decides to donate the value of their cancelled or postponed tickets back to the Reilly instead of requesting a refund, they are being an arts hero and supporting this project, dozens of artists and staff, and future Reilly performances. Costs for the streaming program are expected to range between $1,500 to $2,500 per live event.
Upcoming Live Streamed Performances:
The first Reilly livestream performance will take place Friday, March 20 at 7:00 PM featuring nationally celebrated flamenco guitarist and UF Professor, Silviu Ciulei. Ciulei will perform an exciting assortment of French and Spanish classical guitar pieces, Flamenco music, and will be joined by renown touring violinist, and wife, Aniela Moldovan, for exciting tango music and more. Viewers can tune in and find a listing of the schedule, bio on performers, and how to support by visiting reillyartscenter.com/live. Other live stream events scheduled in the coming days include performances by the Ocala band Left On Broadway, the Greg Snider Jazz Trio, Gainesville’s clarinetist Dr. Keith Northover and pianist Brian Hargrove, Adam Volpe and the Voltron Collective, Joshua Mazur singing the music of Broadway, Ocala’s Insomniac Theatre Company, Inc., members of the Ocala Symphony Orchestra and many more being added daily.
Attending the Insomniac Theatre Company, Inc. committee meeting, on gracious invitation, to help to continue support local. I have been active on, and off, stage at the Reilly Arts Center and other venues and excited to be more involved in the committee.
