As a patron of the Stonewall Chorale, in New York, NY (the Chorale), purchasing a ticket indicates that I hereby acknowledge  and agree to the following:

• I acknowledge that the Chorale, in the context of the continuing COVID-19 risks, will offer me the opportunity to attend the Chorale’s Spring 2022 concert (the “Concert”) on the terms laid out herein. I acknowledge that I receive a personal benefit from participating in Chorale activities and do so of my own free will. 

• I recognize that COVID-19, including any variants of that virus that are known or that, may arise in the future, is a highly contagious disease and that infection with COVID-19 may result in illness, permanent injury, or death to me or to others with whom I may come in contact.

• I recognize that group activities such as choral singing involve an increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 and those infected with COVID-19, and that, even with preventive measures in place, the Chorale cannot guarantee that I will not contract COVID-19 or pass it along to others. I knowingly and freely accept all such risks related to my participation in Chorale activities.

• I acknowledge that it is my personal responsibility to protect my health, my family’s health, and the health of the chorus members.  To that end:

• I agree that I will not attend any Chorale activities if I am experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 (including fever, cough, or shortness of breath, or any other indicia of infection as identified by federal or state health authorities) or am otherwise feeling sick, or if I have been sick in the past 14 days;

• I agree that I will not attend any Chorale activities if I or a member of my household has been diagnosed with COVID-19, or if I have otherwise been exposed to COVID-19, within the past 14 days;

• During all Chorale activities, I agree to abide by all required safety measures requested by the Artistic Director and/or the Board of the Chorale, which may include mask-wearing, social distancing, and frequent hand washing or sanitizing.

• Knowing the risks described above, I hereby, to the fullest extent allowed by law:

  • voluntarily assume all the risks and responsibilities surrounding my participation in Chorale activities

• • waive any and all rights or claims against the Chorale, its Artistic Director and other Directors, its Officers, and all of its Board members, agents, and assigns, and all of its members (the “Releasees”) that I may have as a result of my participation in Chorale activities;

    • fully release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Releasees against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, losses or expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements), arising from or out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the infection of COVID-19 or any other illness or injury, which may accrue to me or my heirs in connection with my participation in Chorale activities, whether a COVID-19 infection or other illness or injury occurs before, during, or after participation in those Chorus activities; and 

    • agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Releasees harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, losses or expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) to which any of the Releasees may become subject arising in any manner from or attributable in any way to my participation in Chorale activities.
