To arrange an interview please contact kstaubin@chamberfest.com, or call (613) 234-8008, Ex. 244. Feel free to use biographies and photographs, provided that you credit the OCMS and the photographer respectively.

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your interview, and ask an OCMS staff member or volunteer to contact your media relations officer.

Bear in mind that the minutes leading up to a concert are our most hectic moments. And that musicians may not want to be interviewed immediately before their performance, making it difficult to arrange last-minute interviews. This is why we suggest you book interviews in advance (see 1 above).

Should you require photos of the musicians in performance it is essential that you:

• Do not block the view for our audience: crouch below their line of vision if necessary.
• Do not use flash or lights during performances as they interfere with the concentration of musicians.
• Do not move up close to musicians while they are performing.
• Do not move around the auditorium/event space during performances. This is not only disruptive to musicians and audiences, but many of our concerts are broadcast live, or taped.
• Do use a silent camera. Clicking, or rewinding cameras, etc. is not permitted during performances.
• Only move from your position during a break in the performance. That is only once each piece of music is completed and the audience applauds: not between individual movements.
