RESIDENCIES

Introduced as "Extended Engagements" in the 1960's by Ann Summers, residencies have become important for audience development on all levels, whether in schools or communities.

There are three types of Residencies: (We are always open to suggestions)

1. THE MORNING AFTER:
   Before leaving a community after a concert, artists are able to conduct a residency activity, without an additional fee.
2. THREE-DAY RESIDENCY:
   Once a concert has been scheduled, we can reserve the days before or after for residency activities. (grants may be available for these sessions)
3. A SEASONAL RESIDENCY:
   This is three or four 3-Day Residencies spread over a season, and includes a series of 3 or 4 concerts, which can be sold on subscription, or integrated in existing series.

These "Extended Engagements" are flexible and can be designed to the needs of your organization or community.
