The Kalos Arts Ensemble
Original chamber music for intimate salon settings — an evening of active listening, transcendence, and encounter.
What Is Involved in Hosting
The Kalos Arts Ensemble performs in donated or low-cost intimate venues — churches, university halls, private homes, galleries, and arts centers. Hosting is not a conventional presenter arrangement. You are not booking a touring act; you are partnering to bring something specific to your community, and your local knowledge, relationships, and networks are central to making it succeed.
Venue Requirements
- A high-quality piano — concert grand preferred; an upright of professional quality may be considered depending on the venue
- Seating for 75–150 people in an intimate configuration — close to the performers, not stadium-style rows at a distance
- Stage area sufficient for four seated string players positioned adjacent to the piano
- Ability to control ambient lighting to allow the Chroma lighting system to function as designed
- Space for a post-concert reception — can be the same room or an adjacent area
- Acoustic quality appropriate for unamplified chamber music
What Hosts Do
- Donate or secure the venue at no cost to the ensemble
- Promote the event actively through your local networks — email lists, social channels, community relationships, and personal invitation
- Identify and connect potential ticket buyers — personal invitation is the primary driver of attendance at salon events
- Coordinate local logistics — parking, access, reception setup
- Optionally: help identify local donors or sponsors who can underwrite a portion or all of the event costs
A Word From A Sponsor
"The Kalos Ensemble is fresh air in the lungs of the church. We as Christians are called to produce great art that glorifies God our savior. Christians have the best reason in the world to do this, and in my personal endeavor to find artists with this vision, I am excited to have found Gustav Hoyer and the Kalos Ensemble. The music is accessible and emotive, connecting any listener to a deeper experience of humanity and God's creation."
