Covid Policy
 
Blue Hill Bach is committed to ensuring a safe environment for both our performers and in-person audience members during the 2022 Summer Festival.  We will be following CDC guidelines and requirements of our performance venues regarding masking and social distancing.  
 

Blue Hill Bach reserves the right to limit the number of audience members in order to ensure adequate social distancing.  In this case refunds will be given if excess tickets have been sold.  Blue Hill Bach also reserves the right to require audience members to be masked, but not require performers (all vaccinated) to be masked.  In this instance we would ensure that there is a safe distance between the first row of audience and performers.

Regardless of shifting conditions, Blue Hill Bach is requiring that all performers and audience members be vaccinated. Exceptions are made for those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions or age.

If you are experiencing any symptoms or have reason to believe you might have been exposed to Covid-19, please do not attend a concert or event unless a recent test has shown a negative result.

If you have any questions about these protocols, please email info@bluehillbach.com.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation this season as we return safely to the joy of live music!
