Other than orchestras and music groups simply trying to convert ticket sales to "live stream" events, or "zoom" concerts, are you hearing or seeing any examples of new trends or innovations in "live" performances amid/post COVID?

Classical/new music concert-going will be forever changed. Out here in Boston, my partner is still deeply mourning the personal and professional loss of what would have been a pretty baller 20/21 season. I'm so saddened for all my colleagues and friends in the performing arts. I suspect many won't be able to recover.

Completely agree. And thanks for doing this AMA.

I'm working with a performing arts org here (I'm a doc filmmaker) to try and serve up some compelling content- but everyone is really, really missing being part of a group that gets together multiple times a week to make music. Good luck out there!

What are your thoughts around the skepticism of "early adoption" of any new COVID-19 vaccine that might come out this year or early next? For context, we have two close friends that are respected in this field (in the US) who have both said to us privately that they'll be skipping any first round vaccinations that are widely distributed. That gave us pause. They're some of the smartest people we know, are pro-vaccine, but essentially said "no way" when we asked if they'd get vaccinated with the first to market option.
