20-21 Program

Chamber Music Notes for our Pandemic Season
During these improbable times, our 41st season has been redesigned to
meet the new realities, and we are offering every form of access available.
For the first time in our history, professional audio/visual engineers will
record the concerts for both live stream and on demand access.
Thus, there are three ways to enjoy this season.
• Live Attendance: If a season subscriber, you may elect to attend live
performances on Sundays at five. Seating will conform to physical
distancing and CDC guidelines, so the number of available seats will
be limited, and this option will be available only to subscribers on
a first-come basis until restrictions are lifted. All subscribers with
email addresses will receive an email at 9 am on the Monday before
each concert telling you how to reserve seats for the upcoming
performance. If you do not have email, please call 843-208-8246 at
9 am on that Monday and leave a voicemail with the number of seats
you are requesting for Staci Breton. Reservations will be on a firstcome
basis and will be limited to the number of subscriptions that
you hold.
• Live Stream: Both season subscribers and individual ticket holders
may choose to join the artists and patrons in the hall from the safety
of your homes with live streaming.
• On-Demand: All patrons can view the concerts and 8-10 minute
interviews with the evenings’ artists at your homes within a week of
the performances at times convenient to you. Subscribers will have
access to the concerts and interviews through Memorial Day 2021.
Individual ticket holders will have access for three weeks.
Recognizing that attending from afar can never replicate completely the
experience of a live performance, we have reduced our season subscription
rates by 50%. If seating restrictions should be lifted and we are all able
to join the artists for live concerts during the season, the reduced rate will
remain in place for all pre-season subscribers, and you will continue to
receive videos of all concerts and interviews.
We have great hopes these options will work as planned, but we ask
for your patience and cooperation if changes are required as the season
progresses.
With the added costs of videoing and losses from reduced subscription
rates and, no doubt, reduced ticket sales, we ask that you share the link,
www.uscbchambermusic.com, with friends and family, both near and far,
and ask them to join us for a virtual season. If we can count on you as a
subscriber, Friend, and recruiter, we know we shall fly the chamber music
banner high in the Carolina Lowcountry this season…COVID or no COVID.
