When planning California chorale music concerts, you have to do everything within your capacity to ensure your concert is successful. Before you go too far with the planning process, you should first determine whether outdoor choral concert are permitted in your area. If they are not permitted, your journey ends there or you should plan a concert in a different area. 

If outdoor concerts are permitted then there are some things you need to consider. I will address these things in this article. 

Will audiences return to concerts? 

Now that you have determined that outdoor concerts are permitted in your area and that the leadership of your company is ready to go ahead with producing a safe live concert. You should first ask yourself; will audiences and singers show up? It might be time to do a survey and find out whether people will show up. You need to be specific with your audience and chorus about all the details that surround your event such as safety precautions being taken by your team, the location, the protocols they will be expected to follow such as testing, masking and distancing. 

Your ability to plan a successful event will depend on how many people will respond and the balance of the ensemble you will get from those willing to attend. 

Find the right venue 

After determining the number of singers you are working with, you will need to identify the right locations for rehearsals and performances. The venue search will pose bigger problems if you are hosting a bigger event. The size of the stage will also determine the number of people allowed to perform in your chorale concerts at the same time. 

Reopening considerations 

It is important to understand that each venue is different and these are unfamiliar circumstances to everyone. You should therefore be sure that everyone is clear on a few important points. You should tell people whether or not the venue will handle ticket sales, the masking requirements for the event, and the maximum number of performers and audience. 

Musical considerations 

There are several things to consider than just the artistic piece. Especially if you are unfamiliar with outdoor concerts, you will have to consider the following things.

• Acoustics 

You should check whether there is any kind of canopy, shell or other physical structures that will help your performers to be heard by the audience. You need also to consider whether there are other technologies you can tap into to limit any acoustic challenges. Singing open-field will result in poor-quality sound so you will need special equipment for such venues. 

• Amplification 

You need to know whether you want to mic the piano, the choir or any other instruments and plan for this before the event. 

• Electricity 

When choosing a venue for your California chorale music concerts, you should ensure that the venue has a stable supply of electricity. You will need to power your electrical appliances such as amplifiers, pianos, mixers and other instruments that will facilitate your event.
