Coronavirus
Given the great pandemonium about Coronavirus (Covid-19) it appears many events we are involved in are going to be affected.
I'm curious to see what has been happening in the community.
Massachusetts, New York, and Washington State have declared emergencies. Have any of you experienced concert changes or cancellations?
My orchestra (Merrimack Valley Philharmonic) has a concert scheduled for May 17 and we are starting to consider whether we will need to cancel or reschedule.

Our concert band in Madison Wisconsin rehearses at a retirement community, but for the time being we've had to find another location. All our concerts are in Assisted Living centers in retirement communities and we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I'm down in SW Florida right now and already some venues are talking about canceling gigs due to CORVID19. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Re: Coronavirus
The Claremont Symphony here in SoCal has had to "indefinitely postpone" an upcoming concert because the college where their performance venue is located is cancelling all public events through at least April 18th. Several colleges and universities in the area are suspending "face-to-face" instruction (with exceptions for classes that just don't work online). It's a precautionary measure; none of the schools have had any cases of the disease as yet (and they want to keep it that way).

Re: Corona stuff
My university has extended our spring break. That would effectively cancel any concerts happening during the extra week off. My understanding is that there are a lot of other universities doing the same thing. I haven't heard of any other cancellations here in my town yet...

Re: Coronavirus
The college where my orchestra is based has been surprisingly quiet on the subject. I will continue to go to rehearsals until something changes. My daughter's college will be starting their spring break early, and may well go fully online after the break. I'm not sure how much that will help the conservatory students.

So this is the guy Joe Rogan had on his podcast yesterday: Michael Osterholm
Here are his props:
...an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. He is Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, a professor in the Technological Leadership Institute, College of Science and Engineering, and an adjunct professor in the Medical School, all at the University of Minnesota.
He stated in the next three months 90 million plus cases of coronavirus, over 40 million hospitalizations, and nearly 500,000 deaths. That's in the U.S. alone.

Re: Coronavirus
I have 3 trips to Florida coming up for gigs, and I'm wondering if any of them might get cancelled at the last minute. So far nothing here has been cancelled but I'm not doing that much locally, maybe it's affecting others more.

A colleague returned from Seattle where he went to the opera and to a movie. He must have got them in just before they banned large public gatherings. I just don’t know how worried I should be sitting next to him in rehearsals.

Re: Coronavirus
I am luckily in Canada this week, giving a masterclass at UofT Friday and playing a concert Saturday. That's the last work I'll have for I don't know how long, though. All my gigs from now to the summer are in Switzerland or Germany, both of which have banned large events and I don't see them going back on that any time soon as the situation has just been getting worse. Most of them are not cancelled yet because organisers are holding their breath and hoping the situation improves and the ban is lifted but it's only a question of time before they get postponed or cancelled..so much for Holy Week...
Switzerland is seeing an exponential rise (they are now near the top of the list in cases per capita and last day count was a 150 increase in one day — almost a 30% hike) and has reached the point where the authorities have stopped counting new cases, as they are no longer testing younger or otherwise healthy patients or investigating the transmission chain of new reported cases, and instead diverting all resources to treating the higher risk/older patients.

Re: Coronavirus
In Germany the minister of health has proposed that all events over 1000 people should be cancelled.. Due to our federal organisation the individual states can decide if they want to follow this or not. Baden-Württemberg where i live has followed that recommendation..
This weekend i will be playing a concert with a few hundred audience members, but we still are a little unsure if it's actually going to happen or if it will be cancelled last minute.. The organisator already canceled 3 other events this week, one with a group from south-tirol
Also in my region there is season for the yearly concerts of all the local town bands and a hand full have already canceled their concerts.. My band would play on 21st March, so still a little ahead.. But i don't see it slowing down, so maybe we have to cancel too

Re: Coronavirus
Exactly the same situation as here in Switzerland. We even have to contact authorities for events with more than 150 people and ask if we can do the event or not. Quite a catastrophe scenario for all the town bands who want to play their concerts now - and all the small music festivals in april... it sucks.shider wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 1:59 am In Germany the minister of health has proposed that all events over 1000 people should be cancelled..

Re: Coronavirus
In Denmark, Copenhagen Area, our brass band and big band concerts have been canceled, as well as local brass band competitions. So have rehearsal evenings, dance lessons, and many/all cultural, sports or leisure events with more than 100 attendees. Government closes all schools, universities, public working places, except for hospitals, fireworkers, rescue teams. Private companies are urged to tell their workingforce to work from home, if possible. So it's a close to total lockdown here. I think these measures will not be given up the first 3-4 weeks ... Although they are announced for the next two weeks only yet.

Re: Coronavirus
My band has a concert this Saturday, currently going ahead. Otherwise, in the main, events in the UK are generally going ahead for the moment, but that could change very quickly. I think organisers here will generally go by what the official advice is, even if they don't completely agree or would like to be more cautious. If there has been local contact with confirmed cases though, the cancellations are happening. One big problem is the lead time to symptoms and getting test results confirmed.

Oh and one of the main venues for early music concerts in Basel, which has a very nice series of monthly concerts, is adjacent to the hospital and is now being used as an isolation and testing venue for incoming patients. It's gonna be a while before any concerts happen there again...

Most of the San Francisco Bay Area college campuses are closed, so all of those associated performances are off.
The community bands that I know have (mostly) already cancelled rehearsals, concerts and weekly gigs until further notice.
Bands and bookers are just now sorting out what to do with this weekend's (paying) gigs at the club level.

Re: Coronavirus
We have had one confirmed case in the county so far (SC). Our community band has a concert scheduled a week from Sunday. So far, we are still a go, but that could change. I hope we play as I am doing a solo and am really tired of practicing it. Almost as tired as my wife is of hearing me practice it.

Re: Coronavirus
The closures and cancellations are coming thick and fast; I think it was mostly a matter of someone having to make the first move (and a nudge from the governor didn't hurt). It seems most colleges are taking steps to transition to online instruction wherever possible. So far, K-12's are planning to stay open (but without concerts, athletic events etc.); not only are there a significant number of students who don't have internet access outside school, but there are a lot of kids who depend of other services provided through schools (school lunch, etc.). One local high school band was on buses headed to the airport to fly to Europe when the work came down.
Bones West will be dark for at least the remainder of March. None of my other groups has announced yet, but I expect at least some of them to follow suit.

3 gig cancellations, plus one orchestra has its rehearsals tanked, due to being held in a community center that's closed. Fortunately for the orchestra, this is right after a concert, and the next one is in May. We'll see.

Here in SE Michigan, nearly everything is being cancelled. Most of the schools and universities are shutting down, at least temporarily. The community band I play in and the community orchestra my wife plays in have both ended the season early, and gigs are dropping quickly. I have a feeling there's not going to be much live music over the next month or two.

My wife works at the Census. They are trying to figure out what to do. Lots of things are "in the air". In theory the Census counts everybody where they are on April 1, 2020. They planned to count college students at their colleges. But a lot of the students will be on extended break or distance learning at the time. Do they get counted at school or where they physically are? Interesting question (and no, I don't have the answer).

Re: Coronavirus
Big band rehearses in an a nursing home, suspended for two weeks as of now (our band leader's decision) and I expect the home to make their own decision to kick us out for longer. Community band practices at a church; last Monday's rehearsal the director said we will keep going, but I bet the church will have other plans. Our gigs at nursing homes are supposed to start in a few weeks, which I doubt we'll be playing.
Edit: while I was typing the above comment, an e-mail came in saying the church has suspended all public events, including our rehearsals, until March 30 at least. Hey, now would be a good time to take my 7B in for service!

I'm located in NYC - I'm playing a musical in Westchester that surprisingly hasn't been cancelled but in general the cancellations have been catastrophic for freelancers here. Many have lost thousands of dollars worth of work essentially overnight. It seems like a lot of national or regional tours are also cancelling shows. Now would be a great time to try to take some virtual lessons with out of work freelancers!

Re: Coronavirus
Thanks. I first heard it on Alessi's Illuminations CD some years back. Then I found it in the book of Pryor solos that Carl Fischer publishes and played it with a piano at a trombone camp about 10 years ago. Finding the band parts was quite a challenge. We eventually got them from the Chatfield Band Library in Minnesota. They were printed on the backside of something called "calling all workers," which sounds like it might be the official Communist Party march.
It's not as technically hard as something like Blue Bells, but is really pretty. And it looks like we postponing the concert as of now, so my wife will have to suffer even longer.

Well, another shoe has dropped. The other Senior Center has cancelled our dances until further notice (as well as all other activities). I surely hope that a 2 week quarantine of the country will "break" the pandemic.
Good luck to all you Gig workers. I hope our dysfunctional government comes up with some kind of safety net for you.

Maybe related to the Industrial Workers of the World, which was founded in 1905. I could see them having their own march.
