Masks: Audience members are required to wear masks while in the church. Masks are required regardless of vaccination and/or test status. (Peckins and Akahori, the two performing musicians, are not required to wear masks during the performance.)

Vaccination/testing: Audience members must be vaccinated against COVID-19. Please bring your vaccination card or a legible copy (a photo on your phone or digital record is okay as long as all the information is clearly visible). If you cannot be vaccinated, you are alternatively welcome to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within the last 72-hours of the concert time or rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours of the concert start time. Please understand, even with a ticket, you will only be allowed into the hall if you also bring proof of vaccination or a negative test.

Audience size/distancing: Audience size will be limited to a maximum of 25% of the church's official pre-covid capacity. Audience members are encouraged to practice social distancing, but this will not be enforced. In order to manage audience size, only advance tickets are available - tickets will not be available at the door.

Acceptance of risk: Please note, these measures do not prevent infection from COVID-19, and we cannot guarantee that all audience members will effectively comply with these measures. By attending this event, you voluntarily accept all risks to yourself and your family members of contracting COVID-19, a contagious disease.

Refunds: Tickets are non-refundable, except in the case of illness. If you or anyone in your household is diagnosed with COVID-19 or is experiencing symptoms, please do not come to the concert. In this case, you may request a refund as long as you do so before the concert start time. If you prefer to donate your ticket cost, you are certainly welcome to do so, with many thanks.
