Venue<\/strong><\/p>\n While I’m not proselytizing for the “all concerts should be held in nightclubs because that’s where the whippersnappers go” presenting philosophy, there are some great points in the quote above about while Le Poisson Rouge is such a hot-spot. Your venue does not have to be draped in black and oxblood or draw the NYU crowd to be hip, although some probably want you to believe that. Let’s focus on the parts: refreshingly informal, manageable length, and popular\/affordable prices. When searching for your venue, look for a space that speaks to the type of program you will be performing. Further yet, concentrate on finding a venue that will make your audience feel included. Your recital is about interacting with people in an authentic, respectful, and musical way. Take, simply, the title of the book The Chairs Are Where the People Go <\/span><\/a>and think about where you want your audience to go.<\/p>\n Venue Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n Art Museums and Galleries \/\/<\/p>\n Public & Outdoor Art Spaces (tricky but doable) \/\/<\/p>\n Academic Institution Concert Halls \/\/ Religious Institutions \/\/<\/p>\n Opera House or Symphony small hall \/\/ Caf\u00e9s or Cabarets \/\/ Theatres \/\/<\/p>\n If your recital is taking on a thematic shape, there are unique locations that you could pursue. Or, consider planning one of these for a future recital to give yourself creative license. If you have a local independent theatre, consider accompanying a silent movie. By attaching the word “festival” to your concept, you can invite other musicians and create a full evening around your interests (i.e. Chanson Festival). Another way to include a large number of musicians would be to hold a marathon concert. Not that I know many singers who could physically do this, but you could always follow in the footsteps of Felix Hell<\/a> <\/strong>who performed a four-day, 10-concert marathon of the complete organ works of Bach. Maybe you have a cause that you want to support through a fundraising concert? Or, you want to do a set at a coffeehouse or caf\u00e9? Even if you feel your only venue is the church down the street, you could tailor your program to be a “service of worship.”\u00b9<\/a><\/p>\n I know that for many this can and should be its own post. But, let’s get some basics down for today’s challenge. Here are ten tips for reaching out to the public to create buzz:<\/p>\n You are ready to present your recital to the world. Make sure you get some people there by building relationships and communicating the value of these events to your potential audience. With all of this being said, take a deep breath, do not worry so much about the how as the why<\/em>. The world is wide. The world is often dark and grim. You have this wonderful ability to brighten people’s dispositions for just a moment.

<\/a>“There aren’t many classical-music venues where the bouncer demands to see your state I.D. and, once inside, you have to comply with the two-drink minimum. In fact, there may be only one — Le Poisson Rouge<\/a><\/strong>, Manhattan’s downtown mecca for hip music-lovers. Whether your tastes run to Chopin, reggae, samba or punk, you’ll probably find something worthwhile here… As the epidemic suburbanization of the city shows no sign of slowing down, it’s exciting to encounter a place with such a quintessentially tough, independent New York spirit. Located at 158 Bleecker Street, Le Poisson Rouge offers seating for up to 250 in a sleek event space decorated primarily in black and deep lipstick red… It’s all refreshingly informal, without a whiff of concert-hall stuffiness — the perfect classical music destination for the NYU<\/a> crowd. Performances are kept to a manageable, nightclub-scale length: a recent concert of Beethoven piano sonatas by H. J. Lim lasted a little under an hour, with a Q&A following. Best of all are the popular prices. As so much of the classical-music world continues to be utterly clueless about how to pull in audiences at affordable rates, Le Poisson Rouge may be the true way of the future for concert presentation in New York.” – F.
