AYS is committed to the health and safety of our musicians, staff, audience members, and all people and has established a COVID-19 acknowledgement and event guidelines that all people who interact with us in-person must abide by. Read the ways we plan to uphold health and safety when interacting in person below:
- AYS Director of Orchestra Operations, Isabel Thiroux, completed COVID-19 Compliance Officer training and will be the on-site COVID-19 Compliance Officer for all in-person events throughout the pandemic.
- Cleaning and disinfecting will be done frequently of all high-traffic/high touch point areas.
- Adequate time will be planned during the events to allow for proper cleaning and decontamination.
- Personnel are advised to stay home if any symptoms related to COVID-19 are experienced.
- AYS staff, volunteers, musicians, vendors, partners, and anyone entering the spaces will be temperature checked and screened upon arrival before being allowed to enter work spaces.
- A minimum of 6 feet distance will be maintained between each person at the events.
- A minimum of 8 feet distancing will be maintained for music-related productions for brass and wind sections and singers – or engineering controls, such as plastic barriers.
- Face coverings/masks will be provided by AYS as needed.
- Face coverings will be worn by everyone at the events.
