How to Host a Living Room
Concert in Your Home
Hosting a live
professional concert in your home is one of the most enjoyable and
rewarding social events you can imagine. Living-Room-Concerts
is ready to work with you all the way to make your event a smashing
success. Contact us before you
start the process so we can help you have the most successful experience
possible.
1. Ask Yourself
If You Have... • A genuine love of live music, be it folk, jazz, blues, classical,
roots, rock, bluegrass, Celtic, cabaret, Broadway, pop or whatever • An enthusiastic desire to host a live music experience in your
home for your friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers and other
acquaintances • A space in your home big enough to comfortably seat 20 or more
people (usually seated on folding chairs) - Living-Room-Concerts
can help you measure • Ample parking space for the cars that will bring your guests to
your concert
2.
Book the Artist
The first step to presenting a house concert is selecting an act that you really love,
an individual or group that you can enthusiastically recommend to all those you are inviting.
If you don't immediately have someone in mind, Living-Room-Concerts
can make recommendations and will contact any artist on your behalf.
There are many
talented and popular entertainers who love house concerts
and are eager to provide you and your guests with a wonderful evening of
live music and fun. We will take care of all the arrangements so
that all you have to do is be the gracious host that everyone knows you
to be.
3.
Invite Your Guests
Contact friends, neighbors, relatives, colleagues at work, people
from your church or social group, anyone
and everyone that you think would enjoy attending a live professional
music concert in your home. If you have room enough for 30 people,
you should invite at least twice that many to ensure a full house.
And remember, the people you invite might very well have a spouse or
someone else they would like to invite. It doesn't take long to
fill up your living room. Living-Room-Concerts will help you with sample emails,
handouts and even coaching with what to say on the
telephone. You'll be amazed at how much your friends will love
this idea.
4.
Enjoy the Party!
Someone from Living-Room-Concerts will be on hand on the big
night to help with the details such as hanging up coats, collecting
last-minute payment for tickets, and manning the "merchandise table"
(selling CDs, t-shirts or whatever). |
