COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
Wearing a KN95 or N95 mask is currently strongly recommended (but not required) at GEMS events.
Vaccinations are encouraged, but proof thereof is not required for entry into our events.
- All artists, audience members, and staff are encouraged to stay properly masked with a KN95 or N95 mask once inside the venue where a performance takes place. The mask should fully cover the nose and the mouth. Please note that some musicians may choose, once on stage, to perform unmasked.
- In the event that Covid-19 remains a potential danger to health, GEMS reserves the right to mandate mask wearing by our patrons, guided by city and state law, and CDC guidelines.
- COVID Status: If you have tested positive for COVID, or conversely, if you have been exposed to COVID-19 and not had a subsequent negative test, please contact GEMS for a refund and do not attend the event you’ve purchased a ticket for.
Disclaimer: An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other viruses or bacteria that cause sickness exists in any public space where people are present. We cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to such pathogens during your attendance at our event.
By attending our events in person, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to infectious disease and hereby waive all potential claims relating to such risks.
Safety and Service: Gotham Early Music Scene is focused on facilitating outstanding early music performances while keeping our patrons, musicians, and staff safe. We pledge to follow relevant CDC and City guidelines – and in some cases to go beyond them – for those events we service or produce/co-produce.
Please arrive no later than 10 minutes before the start of any program. We cannot guarantee seating for anyone who arrives later.
In the event that COVID-19 infection rates should increase to a level where GEMS chooses to require masks and/or social distancing at events, we reserve the right to limit the number of concert attendees. In such circumstances, subscribers would be given first access, and then a reduced number of single tickets made available.
Early music is one of the balms that helps all of us maintain our balance and calm in these stressful times. Thank you for showing forbearance as we institute these safety measures, which are designed to keep everyone feeling confident and protected as we return to in-person events and rediscover the joys of live music.
We thank you for your patience as we navigate this evolving situation together.
