About this episode
What is a test concert? Thanks for asking! Living through a pandemic has seen many of our favourite pastimes turn from harmless fun to high-risk activity! Think of going for a beer with your colleagues after work, taking your grandma to the cinema or dancing the night away in a club for example. The whole culture sector has suffered and the music business is among the industries which have been affected the most. Concerts have been at a halt for some time now but we can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. With vaccination campaigns now underway in many countries, there’s hope performing arts will return in the coming months. Test concerts are being arranged in some places to see the impact of allowing limited crowds to gather. That sounds exciting, but still risky! How do we know these test concerts won’t turn into super-spreader events? having avoided COVID for this long, is it really worth the risk? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
