This adaptive performance will differ from our regular concert in a
number of ways:
• If patrons need to move around, express themselves vocally, or
leave and return to the concert hall, they are welcome to.
• Audience members will have advance access to a Venue Guide describing the concert experience step by step, in order to reduce
anxiety about it, and a concert-specific fact sheet detailing the
performance itself.
• Three rows of seats at the back of the hall will be kept empty
should guests wish to move away from the sound of the music on
stage.
• Audience members will have access to a quiet room furnished with
comfortable seating, stress-relieving fidgets, and relaxing activities.
• GPN will provide other resources, such as sound-dampening
headphones, that can be signed out before the concert and
returned afterward.
