Longwood Symphony Returns to New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall & Live Music
Longwood Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to return to New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall and the joy of performing alongside a live audience!
While a full season of captivating music and community connections awaits us, the health and safety of our audiences, musicians, staff, and volunteers remains our highest priority. Along with our host, NEC’s Jordan Hall, LSO is taking a number of steps to provide the safest possible concert experience.
Health & Safety
Proof of vaccination, masks, and social distancing will be required for all guests.
Programs will also be shortened and presented without intermission. The orchestra will also implement distancing between musicians and a capacity limit on the stage. To learn more about these protocols, please visit our Health & Safety Guidelines page.
Updated January 2022: children under the age of 5 may present proof of a negative COVID-19 test. Guests over the age of 5 must present proof of vaccination.
