We are delighted to announce the newly structured programme which you can see by visiting this website.
We hope you will be joining us on the week of 12th to 18th October.
All performances will take place LIVE at the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall, at 20:00. All details to be found NOW in this website. The Society has made the following arrangements for the audience, in the belief that, by taking these precautionary measures will be minimizing the risk of contracting and spreading Covid-19: |
| - |
Members of the audience will be requested to wear masks at all times. |
| - |
Half the seats in the Concert Hall will be left unoccupied on an alternate basis, and half the rows of all the seats will also be left unoccupied thus ensuring maximum distancing.
This means that only 25% of the capacity of the Concert Hall – about 350 seats – will be available for each separate performance at the Concert Hall. |
| - |
Given the extreme economic crisis which Hong Kong is undergoing, tickets for each of the performances will be priced at HK$ 20 each, with no discounts available. |
| - |
Aware of the need to request a maximum collaboration of the audience in complying with much stricter rules of social interaction while being a member of the audience, something that younger children might find difficult to understand and therefore to comply with, we have reviewed the minimum age for children to be able to attend the performances to 10 years old. |
| - |
In order to minimize the handling and exchange of material which can be important in the spreading of the virus, we will not be producing/distributing any printed material. |
| - |
Instead, all relevant information will be published on the Website of the Society, including the detailed programme for each day, information on the participating artists and including the programme notes. |
| - |
During the performances, we will have installed digital screens on the stage and we will be displaying the name of the performers and the works being performed at that moment. |
| - |
Finally, all the artists and staff involved in the presentation of the Festival will be tested for Covid-19, just before the commencement of the Festival, for their own safety and that of the audience. |
| - |
The Society pledges to its friends and audience, and to all music lovers in Hong Kong, that it will do its best to deliver what it promises but subject to the maximum protection from Covid-19 for its audience and artists. |
Numbered tickets will be available for sale at all URBTIX outlets starting on the 30th of September, but given that the number of seats available is going to be reduced to 25% of the total capacity, we are accepting bookings by email (afreris@netvigator.com) or mobile and WhatsApp (852- 90271429) for all the performances announced in the program in our site. There will be no need to pay at the time of the booking, although we will be assigning seats for each request received.
Later on we will then be contacting each of the parties which have booked tickets through the Society, to arrange for the payment needed to maintain their bookings for the days of the performances chosen.
In order to be able to implement these bookings through the Society, we will require that the bookings requested are accompanied by the name of the person responsible for the booking and his/her contact email and mobile number.
Tough times challenge the toughest individuals. But if we join forces and thanks to your collaboration, we will stand a much better chance to be able to contribute to the revival of the morale and of the cultural life of the people of Hong Kong and that of the world in general.
Thanking you in advance and looking forward to hearing from you,
The Chopin Society of Hong Kong Ltd |
