makin a show

So as a little follow up to my previous entry that came out of pure disappointment, mostly in myself, I thought I'd write my afterthoughts in this here blog.

I need to start promoting better. The concerts are good, they have a cool idea behind them, and it would all be better if people could come out and actually experience them. All people, not just those I know that are on my mailling list.

So, I suppose this means that I need to start advertising more. And this means that I need to come up with a real something to lure people in, make them intrigued by the concert.
Here are ideals that I'd like the series to be about:

- Classical music in an intimate, laid back environment- enjoyable to performers and audience
- both p and a should want to come again

- Audience members and performers learning a little something from the performances
-performers talk about pieces- and as they are most likely playing something they truly enjoy, the talks usually have interesting tidbits of info

- People hanging out during intermission and after the concert, eating food and talking
-no wall between performers and audience members
-contacts/networking occurring between all those involved

I want to come up with a better title for the series that would kind of make obvious that the concert has a purpose (not just "Heaven Classical Series").

Anyway, if anyone who might read this has ideas for a series title, PLEASE comment! I want a title that will become associated with this thing and make it a regular name in these parts.

Once I got that covered, I will get myself ready to start planning and advertising well in advance of the next show (January 27!) and there WILL be an audience there.
