All I can say is the various hosts for my concert and myself as an organizer are really taking safety measures seriously. Audience sizes will be capped at a low maximum for all events and audience members will need to wear masks and will be physically distanced from each other within the seating area. Depending on local health regulations, you may also need to show vaccine proof or a negative Covid test result to attend. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am encouraging all concertgoers to notify me in advance through my email <a href="mailto:MA@MAPiano.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">MA@MAPiano.com</a> so I can monitor numbers and make sure the audience size stays under the current maximum capacity limits. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Admission details vary but I have put the info for each concert on the calendar page of my website, which is:<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><a href="http://www.mapiano.com/calendar.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.mapiano.com/calendar.htm</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Most of the concerts are admission by voluntary donation on a sliding-scale, pay what you can basis, because this entire tour was organized very much at the last moment. I have high hopes the music at these concerts will be especially meaningful given our forced absence from live music for so long, and I encourage those of you who are willing to go out and attend musical events to join me at one of these concerts. Last-minute things can sometimes work out beautifully ... let’s hope.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Special notes<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">** If you would like to help me by putting up a poster or two in your community for one of these concerts, please let me know.
