A few thoughts before the note

The purpose

Is music welcoming guests, marking a focal moment or accompanying a meal? Explain the role it plays in the event.

If there are several chapters, describe how they follow one another.

The personal detail

A meaningful piece can be written as a question for the musicians.

Do not assume a particular arrangement or performance right from a sample category.

The practical setting

Bring the venue’s information and any known sound restrictions.

The actual musicians confirm their format and technical needs after reviewing the occasion.

Your draft appears here. Nothing is sent or booked. Avoid confidential or sensitive details.

Give the room its own conversation.

Practical details belong beside the programme, rather than after it.
