School of Music current Covid Plan

The PHMS is very concerned about keeping all users of our historic music school safe. Masking is not required but highly recommended in our intimate venue. We have enhanced cleaning protocols in place.

We ask that users/renters develop their own Covid Plans tailored to their groups’ needs and safety.
