Performance Timetable

The Messa di Voce performance has a complex setup phase, involving careful adjustments to our sound system and computer-vision tracking systems. For this reason, we require the following timetable:

• All equipment listed above, including audio sound support and video projection systems, should be on-site and installed three full days prior to the performance.
  
  
• Team members Golan Levin (software), Zach Lieberman (software), and Greg Shakar (sound engineering) require at least three full days to prepare the concert, and should therefore arrive on-site at least 4 days prior to the concert.
  
  
• Vocalists Joan La Barbara and Jaap Blonk require one full day to rehearse the concert, prior to the performance day itself.
