The CSW Board is optimistically contemplating a 2021 summer season. This would involve outdoor, socially distanced open rehearsals and performances at locations that are part of the NYC Open Culture program. (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cecm/cultural-events/guidelines.page)
Rehearsal will likely occur during daylight hours at the same outdoor location weekly, and may be either seated or standing depending on feasibility. Our repertoire will be selected to reduce the demand on rehearsals. Performances (not rehearsals) will be conducted according to our normal procedures, with CSW percussion and chairs.
We are circulating a survey ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdP5_W8mceDAvK5F6TN2GAGn8820RXKpW0954GNRtDjW38rjw/viewform ) to assess member interest, gather feedback, and solicit ideas. We will develop a tentative plan and apply for rehearsal and performance permits based on your responses. We would appreciate any input you can provide. Please reply the best you can, but please reply!. A final decision regarding logistical details of the season will depend on this survey, the availability of permits, and COVID-19 prevalence as the season draws nearer.
