Three format conversations

Concept formats, not packages. Read the matching programme chapter to understand the musical role.

Format study / intimate

An intimate setting

A supported smaller format may leave room for arrivals and conversation. Ask the actual musicians what is possible.

Format study / attentive

A moment to listen

A defined performance invites the room to focus. Discuss the actual ensemble and arrangements.

Format study / shared

A gathering around music

Music can have a considered place alongside a meal or reception. Discuss the room and programme together.

3 records

Ask about the actual ensemble

The people
Who would perform, and which instruments are supported for this occasion? Reference images do not confirm the line-up.
The programme
Which repertoire belongs to that format, and how are requests reviewed? An ensemble change may change the available arrangements.
The setting
What room, power, seating and sound arrangements does the actual ensemble require? Confirm them with the venue.

Bring the format into your note.

The musicians can then discuss the programme and practical setting together.
