Dear Kristina, I am writing regarding a concert date for Sarah Coponat at Laeiszhalle Kleiner Saal on Nov 3, 2026. Denise Ahrendt specifically recommended your agency. […pitch] Are you available for a brief call this week?
Dear Sebastien, Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, I am fully booked for this year and cannot take over any other concert. Maybe ask Hannes Notzke from KD Palme (also in neoclassical scene). Hasko Witte also recommended (Core Classic, sometimes Indie). Both active promoters at Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle. Warm regards, Kristina
Dear Kristina, thank you again for your kind response in April and for taking the time to recommend Hannes Notzke and Hasko Witte — that was genuinely appreciated. I'm reaching out now with a longer horizon in mind, as I believe Sarah's profile could be a strong fit for your 2027 or 2028 programme. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and for the kind recommendations — it's very much appreciated. Hannes Notzke (KD Palme) sounds like a perfect fit given his work in the neoclassical scene. Would you feel comfortable making a brief introduction by email? Even a one-line "you should talk to each other" would be hugely helpful — your recommendation will undoubtedly carry much more weight than a cold approach from us. Of course, I'll happily reach out to him directly if an introduction isn't convenient on your end. We'd love to keep you in mind for future Sarah projects in 2027/2028 — your profile feels like a very natural match.

Standard rental fee for the date so we can finalize the budget and confirm to our local promoter 2. Confirmation that Elbphilharmonie ticketing is available for this rental event (our preference) 3. Any deadlines on your side for receipt of the photo package, final prices, or signed contract — so we can plan accordingly Thank you again for your support throughout this process.

Hello, We would like to propose organizing a Sarah Coponat concert at Angela Burgess Recital Hall or Duke's Hall. […pitch Sarah]
Hi Sebastien, We can offer venue hire on Saturday evenings. Please find rate card attached. Thanks, Reuben
Hi Reuben, We are interested in booking David Josefowitz venue for Saturday March 7, 2027. Is the venue available?
Unfortunately not. Most venues blocked for student exams that weekend. Angela Burgess Recital Hall available Sat 27 Feb evening (18:30-22:00) or Sun 21 March all day.
Hi Reuben, We would like to proceed with booking the Angela Burgess Recital Hall for Sat Feb 27. Please send hire agreement. Do you have an internal ticketing platform?
Pencilled in for Sat 27 Feb 2027. Booking form attached. Ticketing platform: £200+VAT, includes What's On listing + on-site box office. Cost breakdown: hall £525 + warmup £105 + staff £140 + box office £200 + PRS £60 = £1,030 net + £206 VAT = £1,236 total. 50% on signing, 50% one month prior.
Hi Reuben, Questions: 1) Piano included? 2) Dressing room without separate Warmup Room? 3) Reduce booking to 2.5h? 4) Box office: data shared? Pixels? 5) Self ticketing + What's On listing? Updated breakdown please.
Yes piano included. Recording control room can be used as dressing if no warmup. Min hire 4h (3.5h Sat exception, building only accessible from 18:30 Saturdays). Box office data sharing in development. No tracking pixels. Self ticketing + What's On listing OK at £200+VAT.
Hi Reuben, Let's go ahead and contract the booking. What informations do you need from my side?
Hi Sebastien, Please complete and return the attached booking form (Royal Academy of Music - Venue Hire Booking Form.docx). I can then issue a hire contract. Thanks, Reuben
Hi Reuben, thank you for the detailed information you shared last month regarding venue hire at the Angela Burgess Recital Hall — the conditions you outlined, including the piano provision, the Saturday evening access from 18:30, and the What's On listing option, give us a very clear picture of how a concert could work at the RAM. Thanks for sending the booking form — I'll complete it and return it to you within the next 48 hours. Just to confirm I have the latest details correct: - Venue: Angela Burgess Recital Hall - Date: Saturday 27 February 2027, 18:30–22:00 - Total cost: £1,236 incl. VAT (rental + warmup room + staff + box office service + PRS deposit) - Payment: 50% on contract signing, 50% one month prior to event Two quick questions before I send the form back: 1. Is on-site multi-camera filming and audio recording of the performance permitted (for our own use — promotional/social media, not commercial release)? We'd bring our own quiet, fixed-position gear, no impact on house operations. 2. Is the in-house piano a Steinway? If so, which model — and do you include tuning on the day, or should we arrange a tuner separately? Looking forward to confirming this date.
