• The Society does not pay fees to performers.

• We will reimburse reasonable direct expenses for which receipts can be produced.

• The Society can arrange overnight accommodation if so requested.

• Expenses, including any accommodation costs, are capped at £200 per performer for soloists/duos and £500 for ensembles of 3 or more. Travel by car is reimbursed at the standard HMRC rate of 45p per mile, not exceeding the total allowance.

• Please complete and return the Accommodation Request Form as early as possible if you require accommodation or reimbursement.

​​

• All recitals begin at 7:30pm. On the evening of the performance, artists are responsible for providing printed programmes and/or verbal introductions.

• Our premises are normally unmanned. For pre-concert rehearsal it is therefore essential to contact the Commercial Director for available times and access arrangements.

• The Society will advertise the concerts and provide an audience. Please advise the Society of the full programme roughly 2 months ahead of the concert, or sooner if possible, so it can be publicised and to help us avoid any duplication of repertoire.

• The programme should consist of a first half of about 40 minutes and a slightly shorter second half (approx. 30 minutes).

• Occasionally a programme makes an interval impractical (e.g. a song cycle). Please inform the Society in advance if you wish to amend the standard format.

• Please make sure you time your programme before publishing it. In total it ought not to exceed 70-75 minutes, and this includes any verbal introductions you choose to make. If a programme seems likely to be too long, the Society may ask for it to be amended accordingly.
