Be a part of the Davis Arts Council‘s (DAC) 8th season of the Davis Arts Chamber Music Series. This is another program presented by DAC that’s completely FREE to the public. Held at ALPINE CHURCH in Layton, it runs on the first Friday of each month from October through May. Performances are one hour long and begin at 7:00pm (note: performance time may change back to 7:30pm).

DAC is looking for local brilliance/talent/experience/creativity. Are you a classical voice teacher? Consider using our program to showcase a recital of your best and brightest students! Are you part of a small woodwind ensemble? How about a choir? The possibilities are many and we have 8 performances to plan.

EACH ARTIST/GROUP SELECTED WILL RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THEIR WORK.*

*Honorariums/payments vary depending upon the size of the group, experience of the group in performing together both professionally and at non-paid events, and “materials” required, including tuning of the piano (if our baby grand piano will be used in your performance). NOTE ABOUT TUNING: The piano tuning will be scheduled in concert with Davis Arts Council’s staff to accommodate venue access but the tuning professional will be selected and paid by the artist–therefore, if you desire the piano tuned, you should include it as part of your payment request. All honorariums are in-full and no performer will be reimbursed for sheet music or specially-rented instruments, etc. Please take these points into consideration as you build your budget and payment request. Performance payments average between $300 and $800. However, you should include a request for payment that will ensure coverage of your needs.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CONSIDERATIONS:

Rehearsal space will not be provided except for sound check sometime between 5:00pm and 6:30pm. All rehearsal will need to take place offsite and prior to the performance date. Davis Arts Council will provide one to two experienced technical staff to assist with lighting (lighting available is minimal and basically a wash that light the stage and dim the house), sound augmentation, and any video you would like to use in your performance.  Use of the Davis Arts Council’s baby grand piano is also available (if you intend to use the DAC’s piano, please build in funds for tuning into your honorarium request). We also publicize the event and provide ushers to assist with seating. Our staff/volunteers will also serve to introduce your performance and thank the Davis Arts Council sponsors.
