German Music Council sounds the alarm
In view of new corona measures and the energy crisis, the German Music Council, ten state music councils and the Federal Music Association Choir & Orchestra are calling on politicians to take action. A five-point plan is intended to keep musical life going.
The associations are calling for the reintroduction of free coronavirus tests for the cultural sector and no mask requirement for musicians at cultural and music events. Public spaces, for example in schools, clubs and municipalities, should be made available for music rehearsals, coronavirus regulations should be standardized in all cities and municipalities, and energy cost subsidies for music events should be demanded.
In the publication "Basics for making music under pandemic conditions version 2.0" the network points out which measures offer the best protection against infection.
