COVID-19 Update
This year, Chamber Music at New Park will be held outdoors, Sep. 11-12, weather permitting. We will offer two different programs (~75min in length) which will be repeated in an effort to stagger attendance. In the event of a cancellation of either event due to weather, the cancelled program(s) will be rescheduled to Sunday, Sep. 13th at 11am and/or 7:30pm.
A highlight of past seasons has been the cross-border collaboration with our Canadian friends, which sadly, is impossible this year. We will be joined by some fabulous new musicians from various orchestras in the region who are able to travel to Ithaca safely in accordance with travel restrictions.
Musicians will perform under a tent with amplification, and attendees will be seated in the area surrounding the stage and extending onto the hill (see layout below.) Tickets can be purchased in singles, pairs, picnic tables (seating 4), or family groups (up to 6), and seating will be assigned by CMNP in accordance with CDC social distancing guidelines. Ticket buyer information will be gathered upon checkout (including contact info for event updates). Groups must have all members of party present in order to be seated. No-contact thermometers will be used at the gate upon arrival to check temperatures.
All attendees will be required to bring and wear face coverings at all times, except when seated in assigned plots. Musicians will wear face coverings when not performing. Failure to comply will result in removal from the grounds.
Bringing your own blanket or lawn chair is highly recommended, but a limited number of CMNP chairs may be available for an additional fee. Seats provided by CMNP will be disinfected prior to each concert. Unfortunately, given the unconventional nature of this year's concerts, handicap-accessible seating will be very limited.
Restroom use is discouraged, but facilities will be available and disinfected prior to each concert by CMNP staff. Hand-sanitizing stations will be available at various locations on the grounds, and bi-directional foot traffic will be reduced using caution tape and signage.
