About Home
Concerts
Home Concerts are a way for you to introduce Don to your friends and family
in a more intimate setting. Most concerts are private and by invitation only,
but the rules are entirely up to you. Invite ten or more people, and Don will
show up with his miniature studio prepared to play the music of the evening. You
create the format you desire. It might be in the form of a
musical satsang, a full
concert, or as simple as quiet dining music. Additionally, the evening's music
is recorded, and a CD is prepared that your guests can buy as a remembrance of
the event. As Don's host, you are gifted a free copy of the CD. Don's other CDs
are made available for you and your guests.
Don carefully guards your privacy. If your gathering is private, only the
date and county are advertised on this page. Contact information can include
your name and contact information, or Don is glad to serve as your contact. He
will not disclose any information about you or your location unless the caller
properly identifies your gathering according to your specifications.

Tickets?
Home Concerts are also a way for you to show your support for the arts.
Whether you “hire” the performer, charge a fixed ticket price or ask for a love
offering is up to you. The standard rate for a performer is $125.00 per hour of
performance, so charging $10.00 per person for an intimate personalized two-hour
concert attended by ten people is quite a bargain; $25.00 per person is not bad,
either, and properly honors the performer’s work. (NOTE: In China, rates are
approximately one-tenth of that in the U.S.)
Home Concert Tips
- Make it a pot-luck.
- Invite guests to bring their own chairs and pillows.
- Provide childcare. (Concerts are child-friendly; most young children will
sleep in the presence of the music!)
- Outdoor concerts are great, provided shade and a grounded power source are
available for the equipment. Having an alternative venue available is highly
recommended in the event of inclement weather.
