Ralph Stilwell Concert Hall
NEW CONCERT HALL PROCEDURES
Our family takes the virus very seriously as we have two high risk employees with pre-existing conditions (Michael being one). For the safety of our family and yours, we are recommending the following for all guests:
- We recommend that all your guests wear masks while in the store/hall and one can only remove their mask while on the stage alone.
- We ask that your guests stay in the hall or reception area. We have been showing pianos by appointment only for the last year. If one of your guests would like to shop, please ask them to make an appointment by clicking here or on the top of any page on our website.
- Every event will be live streamed on Facebook or YouTube. By walking into the concert hall, you and all your guests agree to be a part of a live stream experience.
LIVE STREAMING ALL RECITALS
We have spent the covid months upgrading our hall with a complete live stream set up! We have multiple cameras, earthworks microphones (the top of the line) and a top-of-the-line live streaming rig. This means, grandma in Illinois can watch her grandson’s performance from the comfort of her home! The audio quality and video quality is absolutely amazing!
We will be live streaming every recital right on our website so you can share the link with your entire student base and their families. Anyone who enters the hall is agreeing to be in a live stream. We will not be able to make any exceptions to this (tuning it off or on for certain musicians) and we will be live streaming every recital.
