Notice of Cancellation of OMF Opening Concerts and Chamber Concert I New COVID-19 Precautionary Measures
In view of the surge of COVID-19 cases, we will shorten Festival dates and cancel the August 21 (Sat) OMF Opening Concerts and August 22 (Sun) Chamber Concert I. We apologize to those who were looking forward to these performances. Details about ticket refunds for the applicable concerts will be announced at a later date on the OMF official website.
We are continuing with preparations to hold the other programs (Orchestra Concert Program A, Orchestra Concert Program B, Chamber Concert II) with COVID-19 precautionary measures thoroughly in place. For the safety and reassurance of the audience and the host city of Matsumoto and Nagano Prefecture, we will send an antigen test kit free of charge to guests who reside in areas subject to the state of emergency and priority preventive measures, as an additional measure to supplement the precautionary measures we have already announced. Please refer to the Cabinet Secretariat website to confirm the status of your area. The kits are scheduled to be sent gradually starting from Friday, August 20.
Antigen test kits serve to identify possible positives, and we ask that you refrain from attending an event if you suspect you may be infected.
Regardless of whether you reside in a subject area, we will accommodate ticket refunds if you decide to refrain from attending in consideration of the impact of COVID-19.
With the cancellation of the two programs above, festival dates will be from Saturday, August 28 through Sunday, September 5.
