More than 350 tickets have already been sold for our New York debut in April – which leaves just 1150 to go for a full house! This might seem a daunting prospect to some orchestras but not the RTO, which has a remarkable record in selling out its concerts (see ‘Christmas party’ below). Word is spreading fast in musical circles and, with three months and two weeks before the April 1st kick-off, the chair of the joint committee of organisers of the RTO world tour is confident the surge for seats will continue. ‘We have had enquiries from as far away as California and Christchurch,’ said Zandra Macpherson. ‘I have every reason to be relaxed.’*
Watch this space for future updates.
*RTO Chairman Peter Stevenson would like to point out that he is not relaxed and urges far flung friends of the orchestra who are planning to attend the NY Town Hall concert but have not yet purchased their tickets to do so as promptly as possible, both to avoid disappointment and to make his festive season less anxious.
