I. Pre-concert sound-check
1. If the venue has sufficiently good acoustics for the ensemble’s instruments, a short acoustic run-through is required, to last at least 15 minutes before the house is open to the public.
2. If the venue’s acoustics are not sufficient for our instruments, amplifying equipment of the required quality should be used (to achieve natural, undistorted sound).
3. The amplifying equipment should be ready for a run-through at least 1.5 hours prior to the start of the concert.
4. The sound engineer should preferably be experienced in working with acoustic instruments.
II. Concert (stage)
1. On the stage – three standard chairs, without arms, of identical color, sturdy, which do not creak (see layout of chairs, instruments and microphones on stage)
2. If amplifying equipment is used, five microphones are required for the instruments and one for introducing each piece of music.
