Photo of Kabelo Monnathebe Violin Kabelo Monnathebe Violin "Hi Kabelo thank you so much for Sunday! We unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see you play because we were busy taking pictures, but we could hear the violin from afar, and it sounded absolutely beautiful! 🎻✨ The music added such a special and magical touch to the atmosphere, and we really appreciated having you be part of our wedding day. Thank you so much for being there and for helping make the day so beautiful and memorable.

Based in Pretoria, Gauteng J excellence - Hebron music festival Photo of Joubert.Artist Joubert.Artist "I must be honest I had never been involved in finding and/or booking a band for an event, so this was a first for me - and it was my dad's 60th so I really wanted something special. Joubert and his wife (who seemed to be in charge of the Sound Engineering side of things) were very accommodating and there were little-no issues. The sound quality was great - his voice is great - and no request seemed too much to ask (they did everything with a smile on their faces). We tried to give as many song requests to them at least a week before the time as possible - and they seemed very appreciative of that. They did go the extra mile in the sense that the party actually only seemed to kick off when they were supposed to wind things up - but they volunteered to stay for longer just before my dad asked me if they could, and so they did. The event turned out to be a big success and I wanted to thank Joubert and Juanita for the vibe they injected into a special day for us as a family. Dankie julle" Based in Nigel, Gauteng Jacques Kirstein - 60th Birthday Party Photo of Hip Hop/Rock/RnB Hip Hop/Rock/RnB "Jay KNOWS his Art Such a gifted and dedicated Musician and Music Creator" Based in Krugersdorp, Gauteng Cwesi Oteng x Hermon Music, - Live Recording Concert/Tours/Studio Production/Songwriting/Live Arrangements/Musical Direction.

The price depends on the professional's experience, the scope of the project and the time involved. Rates vary significantly depending on whether the booking is for composition, arrangement, musical direction or a combination of these services.

The composers and arrangers on Gig Heaven offer a range of services including original music composition, arrangement of existing songs for specific ensembles, musical direction for live shows or events, orchestration and transcription. Many also offer production and recording services.

Popular occasions for hiring a composer or arranger include weddings requiring original music, theatre productions, corporate films, advertising campaigns and live shows that need a musical director. They are also a strong choice for events where existing music needs to be arranged for a specific ensemble or performance style.

Many composers can write original music tailored to the specific needs of an event, production or project. This might include a first dance song, a corporate jingle, background music for a video or a full score for a live show. It is worth discussing the brief in detail with the composer.

Because composing and arranging requires time for creation, review and rehearsal, a composer or arranger typically needs more lead time than a standard performer. Several weeks to a few months is common, depending on the complexity of the project. It is advisable to make contact as early as possible, especially for original compositions or complex arrangements.
