​THE
CLASSIC TOUCH STRINGS
& ORCHESTRAS

WHAT DO THE FEES INCLUDE? This is standard procedure even if you only hire a soloist.

• Details-I gather details from you, compile and type them up for initial communications with the musicians.

• Hiring-I try to do this within a week of having all the details for the event.

• Communications-I send a reminder email 2 days before the job and answer any questions in between.  

• Orchestra Roster-There will be a copy for you and a copy for your accounting department.

• Cover Sheet-Include this with your music mailing.  It restates all the details the musicians will need.

  • List of players and seating arrangements

  • Dates with begin and end times

  • Location address, parking situation, doors to use

  • Concert dress

  • What to bring (music stands/stand lights)

  • Mailing labels-I do not mail the music for you.  However, I provide mailing labels for each person, so you don’t spend time writing each one out.

  • Contracting bill

  • Replacing a player if they cancel at no charge

 

CONSIDERATIONS

 

• Date changes - If your originally scheduled date changes, I have to re-contact and sometimes rehire players in addition to revising cover sheets and invoices.  Therefore, there is additional charge for any date changes of $65. 

 

• Date is cancelled - If for any reason the concert gets cancelled, you will still owe my contracting fee.  Canceling or rescheduling should be a very last means of action.  Musicians turn down other jobs to play yours.  To prevent a (double) loss of income, canceling should be considered as a last choice.

 

• When is the contracting fee due? - The bill for contracting will come in the mail with your orchestra roster.  It is due up front, upon receipt.
