The Richmond Symphony will be offering a mix of in-person and live-streamed concerts this fall amid the pandemic,” states an unsigned item in Thursday’s (7/23) NBC12.com (Richmond, VA). “The symphony says it has been practicing socially distanced in-person performances at the Dominion Energy Center, with the alternative option of also watching from home. The fall season will open with two open-air concerts.… For in-person concerts … the following measures will be taken: The capacity of the Carpenter Theatre at the Dominion Energy Center will be reduced from 1,800 to fewer than 400 attendees to allow 6 feet + of distance between seats. Stringent health and safety protocols will be followed to ensure the safety and comfort of in-person attendees, with mask-wearing and temperature checks required, following best practice venue procedures.… Saturday evening Masterworks concerts will be live-streamed…. ‘We are excited to be offering live events and livestream experiences to connect us together in these isolating times …,’ Richmond Symphony Music Director Valentina Peleggi said.
