- Concert: a single music performance event, generally geared towards a larger audience. The duration can vary from just under an hour to an two or more hours, including an intermission.
- House concert: generally smaller in size, hosted at your house, and you invite whoever you want and charge them admission at the door. These shows are very intimate and interactive.
- Club shows: yes, we do perform at clubs and bars. Generally, we prefer to make it a “non-smoking night” if the venue is open to it.
- PAC ShowsFestivals
- Workshop: a single gathering with a smaller group or audience which is characterized by a theme and includes specific learning processes.
- Residencies: similar to workshops, but extend over a longer period of time with more visits. The goals of a residency are ultimately influenced by your agenda. Creating a residency is a more involved process than scheduling a workshop.Workshops and residencies are often connected to a concert performance.
- Story Theatre: a presentation which includes short dramatic narrative plays or fables with music enacted by our company.
- Weddings: marriage is a sacred union, and we have just the music to uplift matrimonial ceremonies!!!
- Radio Shows: interviews andor live performances
