FEES/EXPENSES LUNCHTIME RECITAL: For a lunchtime recital with rehearsal time during the morning £60
FULL EVENING RECITAL: For a full evening recital with rehearsal time during the afternoon £120 I am equally happy to present a full evening recital or a short lunch time concert. I am quite used to giving recitals whilst the building remains open to the general public. I particularly enjoy communicating with an audience through informal introductions to the works to be played.
