Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is R6,500, with prices from R1,800 to R17,000+. Pricing depends on the musician's experience, the instrument, performance duration and the style of music. Classical soloists cover a wide range of instruments and repertoire, and performers with advanced training and professional concert experience tend to command higher fees.

The classical soloists on Gig Heaven include performers on violin, cello, flute, harp, piano, guitar, clarinet, oboe and many other instruments. It is worth browsing profiles to find a soloist who plays the specific instrument you are looking for.

Hiring classical soloists is ideal for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, gallery openings, private parties and formal events. A solo musician provides elegant, refined entertainment that works well as background music or as a featured performance.

Many classical soloists offer arrangements of contemporary songs, film soundtracks and popular hits alongside their classical repertoire. This allows the performance to appeal to a wider audience while retaining the elegance of a live acoustic instrument.

Most classical soloists need very little beyond a chair and adequate space. Harpists may need a specific amount of floor space and access for transporting the instrument. For larger venues, some soloists may use a small amplifier. It is worth confirming any specific requirements with the musician.
