About
VBF 2021
2021 marks the forty-sixth annual Victoria Bach Festival. After a year at a distance, Festival organizers are excited to welcome audiences and artists back to Victoria for in-person performances June 8-12 while implementing safety measures that keep everyone’s health and well-being at the forefront.
- 2021 Festival performances will be one hour in length without intermission. Seating includes spacing between groups to preserve physical distancing.
- All VBF performances will be consistent with CDC protocols in effect during the Festival. Safety measures taken by the Festival include practicing physical distancing, venue airing and sanitizing, use of facial coverings, and performances without intermission.
- If you are not feeling well, or if you have been exposed to, tested positive for, or shown symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home. In an effort to encourage audience members who feel ill to stay home, the Festival will offer flexibility in ticket returns.
In a season is marked by challenges and unpredictability, we aim to make the 2021 Festival a safe and welcoming return to live performance.
