Merry Christmas!!! : Michael Hermogeno

Merry Christmas to all! Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday season! Performed by the LACHSA String Ensemble last year.

A good read. It mentioned a study the Vienna Phil participated in July toward the end of the article, "The Vienna Philharmonic announced in mid-July that its members had participated in a study that measured the amount of moisture emitted by the breath of unmasked players seated three feet apart and performing in a concert. The study determined that the virus poses no increased risk for orchestras, according to an article in the Medical Express. The experimentwhich did not... take into account the dynamics of aerosol emissions (the fine mist that can linger in the air)established that we should not expect air exhaled by an artist to reach more than 80 centimeters distance [roughly 2.6 feet], according to a statement from the orchestra. This maximum distance of breath droplets was emitted by flute players while for the string section there was no observable change in how far the breath travelled between playing or being at rest, the Medical Express continued. The study concluded that there was no increased risk for musicians playing together in an orchestra as long as they observed at least a meter’s distance [three feet] from each other. See more
