2021 - 2022 Concert Season
Now in our 19th Year!
The Musical Arts Series Port Clinton Announces Resumption of Concerts
The Musical Arts Series - Port Clinton resumed the regular 2021/2022 concert season with the first concert on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at Lakeside Chautauqua.
The Musical Arts Series/Port Clinton steering committee continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 virus recommendations of the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health, and the Ottawa County Health Department.
We hope that with the continued vaccination availability to more age groups in Ohio, the continued use of masks, and social distancing that we can safely continue indoor concerts in larger venues. This will be dependent on whether the recent decline in COVID-19 cases in Ottawa County and nationwide continues.
We have made arrangements with the Port Clinton School System to use the High School Performing Arts Center for our indoor concerts this concert season. The large, Performing Arts Center will allow us to accommodate up to 300 attendees with masking and adequate social distancing to provide a safe performance environment.
Attendees will no longer be required to provide proof of full COVID vaccination with a photo ID or a certified negative COVID test within (3) days of the concert. All attendees will still be required to wear a mask during the entire performance. Free masks will be available at the ticket booth.
Anyone feeling ill or experiencing symptoms related to a cold or infectious disease is asked to take care of their health and protect others by staying home.
We will observe all current pandemic health recommendations and regulations in effect at the time of each concert.
We have presented concerts for 18 years without a glitch, until now. The pandemic has severely impacted the entire performing arts community so, sadly, we are not alone.
Please check this website or our Facebook page frequently for the latest information about our concerts in 2022 and 2023.
We greatly appreciate the ongoing financial support of our sponsors and season ticket holders.
Tickets that were purchased for a 2019-2020 concert will be honored for any rescheduled concert in 2022.
The schedule for our 2021-2022 season is listed below:
Sincerely,
The Musical Arts Series/Port Clinton Steering Committee
