FAQs for Revelry

Where do I go?
To your dining room table, living room, patio, or wherever is comfortable for you with an internet connection! ROCO Revelry will be a fully online but live experience. You will be sent a link in advance to have access to the exclusive, interactive experience which will feature live performances from ROCO, conversations with our artists in real-time, and opportunities to visit with your friends and guests.

How will I receive my dinner?
We are excited to partner with Berg Hospitality Group and award-winning chef, Robert Del Grande, to deliver delicious meals directly to you! Prior to the event, you will have a wide selection of food to order from several of the Berg group of restaurants: The Annie Cafe & Bar, B&B Butcher, or B.B. Italia, which will include a combination of ready-to-eat, heat-and-eat, and/or cook-at-home items and wine. On the day of the event, everything will be delivered to you and your guests’ homes during a prearranged delivery time window.

Will there be music?
On Friday, September 25 during Revelry you will get exclusive access to sneak-peek performances of selections from ROCO’s season-opening concert, Starburst, which will be performed in full the following evening. This includes the world premiere of a commission from composer and bandoneon player Richard Scofano who will also be our featured soloist. We will have a fun Dance Break with Richard playing tangos for us all! There will also be live interaction with our Founder and Artistic Director Alecia Lawyer, Artistic Partner conductor Mei-Ann Chen, and members of the ROCO orchestra.

Our goal is for as much of the musical performance to be live as possible. However, some portions may be pre-recorded in order to ensure the highest audio and video quality. But we can guarantee live interaction with our artists and musicians.

The format of the musical performances may be subject to change, depending on safety factors relative to COVID-19.

You say it’s going to be interactive, how?
Just like ROCO is the most fun you can have with serious music, Revelry will be the most fun you can have on a video chat! We are working with a video conferencing company to ensure that you will be able to enjoy performances from ROCO’s world-class musicians but also spend time with your friends and guests.

Think of it as a virtual house with many rooms. There will be one big room that we will all be in together to watch the musicians perform and hear from the artist at some points. At other times you will be digitally whisked away into a more private room to enjoy a virtual gathering with your guests or other ROCO patrons along with one of our musicians. Your experience will be seamless, interactive, and personal!

Will I be able to invite my friends or buy a table?
We are trying to replicate the traditional “gala table” experience in this new digital landscape. For Revelry you’ll be able to purchase a “virtual gathering”, which will include access to the online event and meal delivery for up to 10 people. Additional perks are available at different levels. As mentioned above, you and the friends you invite to your virtual gathering will have opportunities to participate in a more intimate video chat for portions of the evening. One of our musicians will also join you for a little while so you can get to know them too!

Your guests may join in from their own homes and have their meals delivered directly to them. Alternatively, if you and your guests feel comfortable and can do so safely, you can host them in your home and have all meals delivered there and you will all be able to watch the performances together, in person.

If I sponsor a table but do not feel comfortable having a gathering in my home, will my guests still receive meal delivery at their location as well as access to the virtual event?
Yes! Meals will be delivered to guests at multiple locations as needed. In the weeks prior to the event, we will contact you for the information needed to deliver directly to your guests, including links to the virtual event, and the appropriate quantity of meals per household.
