Safety and COVID-19

We are planning a safe return to the concert hall, following all local and CDC guidelines, and will continue to monitor local conditions as concert dates grow near. All performers will be vaccinated, and we will also require all audience members to provide proof of vaccination (with a vaccine card, photo of a card, New York State Excelsior Pass, or the NYC Covid Safe app). We will communicate our protocols clearly at least two weeks before each concert. These may include requiring the audience and/or performers to be masked inside the venue, distancing between audience members and/or between the audience and performers, or limiting the number of concert attendees if necessary.

By purchasing a ticket and attending a concert, you acknowledge that despite all reasonable precautions, there are risks in attending live musical events and you agree to accept those risks yourself. You release the Sebastians (legally, Sebastian Chamber Players, Inc.) from any claims based on your attendance of one of our concerts. Your in-person concert ticket grants you access to the virtual concert experience—available shortly after the performance. If you have any questions or need assistance, we are always reachable at music@sebastians.org.
