COVID-19 information

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected communities all around the world, leading to significant restrictions on all sectors of society, in particular the performing arts. The MOST 2021 program will comply with current Queensland Government guidelines and advice. The health and safety of students, teachers, conductors, tutors, staff, audience members and the broader community is of the highest priority to the department.

The MOST 2021 residential camp and concerts will adhere to the relevant venue COVID safe plans, as well as the following industry COVID safe plans:

the Choral, Vocal, Instrumental and Musical Theatre COVID Safe Plan

As such, MOST 2021 participants should be aware of the following:

Anyone attending the MOST 2021 residential camp must sign a health declaration before coming on site.
Participants must adhere to all health and hygiene practices and physical distancing requirements outlined by the venue management and program organisers.
If any participants are sick or exhibiting symptoms of illness, they will not be able to attend camp.

Please note that the residential camp program and any planned live performances may be subject to change based on directives and regulations from public health authorities at the time of the event. Should MOST 2021 not be able to proceed as a residential camp, program managers will consider alternative online formats.
