Community & Educational Outreach
1. Arranging music for choral ensembles of all ages to be performed with the trio at the local live concert. Recently we had a 70 person choir join us for 4 songs but can work with large or small choirs and even orchestras. And since numbers in choirs and orchestras vary all arrangements are custom made for the communities we visit.
2. School performances (pre-school through grade 12) with a Q&A at the end for the children to ask the performers their questions.
3. Masterclass/Workshop in singing technique, vocal expression and how to “act” a song in all styles/genres (Classical, Broadway, Jazz, Pop, etc.). All ages, but especially good for high schools and colleges.
Is an outreach performance included in your mainstage performance fee?
Outreach is something we feel is valuable beyond measure and we offer a few different options that cater to each individual area. We offer custom made arrangements of music for student choral or orchestral ensembles to be workshopped and performed onstage live with the trio at the local concert. We also offer masterclasses in voice, piano and violin as well as post performance talk-backs. One (1) outreach is included in the fee per booking.
