Submitted by the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival.

After careful consideration of the latest Covid-19 figures and local, state, and federal regulations, we are thrilled to announce the release of additional seats for all concerts of the 24th Festival Season of the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival, Aug. 6 – 21.

Tickets will be available at www.oicmf.org/tickets.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of illness, we request you do NOT attend in person.

A few important details:

Advance ticket sales ONLY – the box office will NOT be open before concerts.

Facial Coverings

· All patrons must wear a mask in Orcas Center at all times

· Musicians are fully vaccinated and will be unmasked, without social distancing from each other, but with 10 feet separating them from the audience. All musicians will be Covid-19 tested upon arrival on Orcas Island.

Social Distancing

· There will be unoccupied seats between parties.

· Audience members may not go down to the stage area to greet the musicians before or after performances. Musicians will meet and greet patrons on the lawn by the whale in front of Orcas Center following the concert.

We understand that you may have gotten accustomed to fewer restrictions under current state and local guidelines. We ask for your patience given these somewhat stricter rules. The joy of hearing live music again will hopefully go a long way toward ameliorating any inconvenience!

Remember, our 24th Season will also be live-streamed! Details and tickets are available at https://oicmf.org/2021-orcas-island-chamber-music-festival/.
