SANDPOINT — Due to an unexpected death in the family, POAC’s Valentine Concert at the Panida Theater featuring pianist Tien Hsieh, has been postponed. 

POAC will announce the new date for this performance as soon it is confirmed.  

“Our sympathies go out to Tien, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding during this time,” said POAC Executive Director Tone Stolz. “Refunds are available to those who have purchased tickets for this show. We do look forward to bringing Tien to Sandpoint later this spring.” 

POAC will still host the planned pre-concert event “Harmony of Hearts: A Valentine’s Art Affair” as part of their Valentine’s Day celebration Wednesday, Feb. 14, starting at 4:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. 

“We invite you to visit the POAC Gallery at 313 N Second Avenue, Suite B, for a reception featuring complimentary champagne (for those over 21), chocolates, and an opportunity to bid on original artworks inspired by LOVE,” Stolz said. “Come support what you love — POAC and the arts in Sandpoint!”
