TAKING PART IN CONCERTS IN THE WEST
I am often approached by musicians interested in taking part in the Concerts in the West series.
Catherine Maddocks, concertsinthewest@gmail.com
We get so many requests that it is difficult to respond to every email but thank you for your interest. I am sorry if this appears rude but we are a very small team and there aren't enough hours in the day. If you don't hear from me then I am afraid there are no dates available for the foreseeable future.
Applications will be considered carefully but as we only have eight to ten tours a year I can make no promises. You will need to send me a CV, a concert biography and a photograph. Our performers have generally been trained to a minimum of post-graduate conservatoire level and are in the process of establishing themselves in the profession and are therefore usually within the age range of 20 to 35. A little warning: we are not able to pay big fees as we play in small, intimate venues; we are a charity; and out of London, where life is very different.
The concerts can be a useful way of establishing new repertoire and having a working holiday in beautiful surroundings. If you are still interested get in touch!
