Why Yes, I DO Play House Concerts!

I do work performing, teaching, accompanying, and recording. Another service I offer is house concerts!

Frequently, I play in either a private person’s house (concert style) or for a fundraiser (in a home or venue). Live harp music can spruce up a party like nothing else! I play either background music, or concert program style (with or without Q&A for the audience to talk directly to me).

A house concert can be in lieu of an audience going to a venue. Instead, the venue is someone’s home. This musician, Shannon Curtis, has made a career for herself playing house concerts. If you, or someone you know, would like to host a harp concert in their home, backyard, or for a fundraiser, I’d love to talk more!

I have experience in making these events happen so its a financial win for all involved.

In a private home, the host either absorbs to cost to hire me and pays me directly; OR  a cover at the door is taken, similar to any other concert event.

Say you had a more public facility, perhaps the actual arboretum you’re raising funds for. You charge $12 at the door, expecting 75 people. That’s a gain of $900. I charge between $200-$300 for a one hour house concert (which includes a Q&A session with audience). You might also choose to charge $15. In a private home seating 40 people, that’s still $600 and then I’d suggest us splitting the door. Guests are encouraged to have potluck dinner/appetizers and the host can make additional $ by having a no host bar of donations.

These are just some of the ideas I’d like to offer you, based upon my personal experiences. Please visit my website below to hear my music. I’d be glad to talk more to you about the possibility of playing for your organization or your friends!
