Mapleview House Concerts

The hosts hire a performer or performers for the event and invite friends, neighbours, relatives - anyone they wish - to attend a concert in their home. The host often provides accommodations and meals for the performer and usually supply light refreshments such as tea and coffee for the audience. The host also collects the donations in advance from the audience and pays all proceeds directly to t

he performer. The audience - you - provide a donation to the performer, paid in advance and in an amount based on a recommendation that is either in line with or less than you would pay to see the same performer in a public place. You get an uncommon opportunity to meet and hear performers that would not normally be available in a small community nor in such an intimate environment. Your hosts - Don and Paulette - Grey Highlands residents, folk music fans, very active volunteers in the arts - past president of a famous folk festival and former artistic director of a decades old folk club - are pleased to bring you great performances in a livingroom near you. We have a smoke free rural home with cats who do not attend the concerts. We will email driving directions to all who reserve. We are at a dead end and there is plenty of parking on the road, in the school bus turnaround and in our driveway.
