In consultation with Government House, the CSO has made the difficult decision to cancel the Summer Prom (3 December 2022) due to persistent rainfall and the consequent condition of the grounds.
Given recent rainfall and the presence of a La Niña weather pattern for the third year in a row, it is extremely unlikely the lawns and parking areas will have time to dry out between now and 3 December. These conditions present unacceptable risks in terms of patron safety as well as the risk of vehicles bogging, damage to property and the inability to safely construct a stage.
It’s a great blow to the CSO to lose such a significant community outreach opportunity, three years running. If you’re in a position to do so, please consider making a donation to help us sustain vital community work such as music programs for health and wellness and initiatives that make the joy of music more widely accessible.
