Season 17 Virtual Events
Concerts will be live-streamed and available on-demand throughout the season if COVID cases rise enough to warrant reduced in-person seating. All ticket holders will be notified and have the opportunity to exchange their tickets.

We recommend an internet speed of at least 3 Mbps. Do a quick and easy speed test! Be sure no one else in your household is using up your bandwidth while you are watching. If you are on a laptop or desktop, an ethernet cable is best for a stable connection but is not necessary. If you have strong Wifi, you should be fine. If you have a newer computer that does not have an ethernet port, you will need a dongle.
If you experience any of the following, it is due to weak internet connection and we will not be able to offer technical support:
- video is buffering, constantly loading, choppy, or freezing
Bluetooth speakers or headphones will produce the best audio quality. If there are 2 of you or more watching from the same device you may need a headphone splitter. If you are watching from your phone, be sure to set “do not disturb” so that you are not interrupted by unwanted text messages or calls!
And don’t forget to unmute and turn up the volume!
Each purchase will be assigned a link and unique access code included in the confirmation email and is not sharable. The unique access code is located directly below the link to watch. Please be advised; if you switch devices or log into a second device with this unique link/access code, the player will stop playing on the original device and continue in the newly logged-in device.

Do not pause, rewind, or fast forward the Live Stream (you can do this with Video on Demand). Live Streams happen in real-time and you may miss the ending.
If you have any questions or issues accessing the concert, please email boxoffice@worcesterchambermusic.org. For live-streamed concerts, we will be monitoring our email during the performance. We will not be answering phone calls once the live-stream begins. If there is a technical issue on our end, we will let you know as soon as we can.
