It simply wouldn’t be safe to do concerts without a ton of health safety theater. That’s why the history of orchestras over the last 200 years is bloody and filled with deadly outbreaks of variants of the illnesses of the day. Thank god the technology has finally arrived to make the primitive activity of coming together, gathering with fellow plague-vectors, and enjoying music safe.
I wonder if they’ll have their house organist come in to play for those getting a vaccine as Canterbury(?) Cathedral did? What a wonderful way of relaxing and de-stressing those waiting to receive and those working to give out the vaccine at the Philharmonie!
Good work, Berlin Phil management!
