RATES


My fee depends on many factors: the length of the event, its location, time of the year (is it a holiday season, like December, or a less busy time?), etc.

Here are a few guidelines (to find out an exact amount, give me a call at (907) 696-3761):
  • An hour rate for a solo performance: $100-125/hour, with a minimum of 2 hours
  • The whole evening solo performance, regardless of the hours (and I played once as long as 6 hours in a row at a New Year Eve party): $500
  • Bringing a digital piano: $50.  This is a nice looking instrument -- just like the real acoustic upright -- but a heavy one, that requires disassembling at home, assembling at the venue, and then  disassembling and assembling again... hence the extra charge.
  • Partner(s) rates: about the same as mine, depending on who my partner is
  • Location: if it is outside Anchorage or Eagle River, there will be an extra fee... let's discuss it by phone
  • Special requests are free -- unless it is a piece that I have to practice for weeks on end....

To give you a few concrete examples: my solo playing at a typical wedding (without a reception, but with a meeting prior to wedding, to talk about the details) will cost you $250-300; a wedding with a long reception - $400-500; a business reception - $200-250; a memorial- $250-300; a private party at home with my digital piano - $250 and up; a Christmas party - $300-500; and so on:  you do the math...

Your date will be reserved with 50% deposit.

I make discounts sometimes: mostly for elderly people, war veterans, and non-profit organizations. So again: give me a call, and we'll discuss it.

And one little gift at the end: if my fee exceeds $400, you get a free CD  "Freylakhs for Two"!
