Keeping You Safe

Thank you for planning an in-person visit to the Symphony! We’re looking forward to seeing you again!  

While you’re here, we ask you to work with us to keep the Symphony and all our venues a safe and inclusive space for everyone. As our venues vary, and our partners may have their own protocols, we ask that you please refer to event details for the most relevant information. Our COVID-19 protocols are based on the most up to date Provincial public health recommendations. 


Our Commitment

Symphony Nova Scotia is committed to safety first! We will continue to have comprehensive safety protocols in place for all in-person events, and will adopt recommendations and requirements from the Province and our partners. 

Not everyone will have the same degree of comfort with the lifting of restrictions, and we ask that you please respect the personal space and comfort level of those around you.

 

Stay Up to Date

We encourage you to stay up to date with how we’re Keeping You Safe! Please, continue to visit us here at symphonynovascotia.ca/safety for the latest updates. If you have tickets to a performance, we will share the latest updates with you in your pre-show email! We recommend you provide an email address when you order your tickets to ensure you receive the email!

 Masks

To protect yourself and others, Public Health recommends that you wear a mask if you’re in a crowded, indoor place. As such, we recommend that you wear a mask when you are at the Symphony.  

For the health and safety of our guest artists, masks will be required for meet and greets and may be required for other intimate, non-concert events. We appreciate your help protecting our patrons, staff, and musicians so that Symphony Nova Scotia performances can proceed without disruption. 

We may recommend or require masks on stage, depending on the performance. We continue to wear masks backstage and off stage at Guest Services.

In our office, which is not crowded, masks are optional and appreciated.  

We continue to make non-medical masks available to anyone who wants one. When worn properly, non-medical masks made of at least three (3) layers can reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19. Learn more about how to choose and take care of a mask. 

Not everyone will have the same degree of comfort with the lifting of restrictions, and we ask that you please respect the personal space and comfort level of those around you

If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, please stay home or go home, and visit https://www.nshealth.ca/coronavirus to view the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) instructions relevant to your situation. Please follow NSHA instructions.
