FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 Due to the social distancing requirements, limits on the size of groups, and face mask requirement Kansas City Symphony was unable to carry on normal business operations. Certain instruments within the orchestra cannot be played while wearing a mask. The orchestra cannot be socially distanced on the stage due to space limitations. We were unable to hold a concert due to the group size restrictions and social distancing requirements. This caused our venue to shutdown. We had to cancel all scheduled concerts from 3/13/20-present. We began to livestream digital concerts in January 2021 using a limited number of musicians. Employees began working remotely. Additional computer equipment was required. Additionally, We purchased a custom trailer that converts to a stage and began performing free concerts throughout the KC metro area using small ensembles of musicians. Patrons can sit outside, socially distanced. This was considered necessary to maintain relations with donors and patrons.
