53 | Performance - 80th Birthday Party | Hanzich Birthday | 5.2.26 3:00 PM | 5.2.26 5:00 PM | 1706 Silver Pine Drive Northbrook, IL | Classical Chamber Ensemble | String Trio - violin, viola, cello | N/A | My father-in-law (Albert Turner) is turning 80 on May 2nd and we would love to do something special for him on this milestone year. Albert is an incredible individual (possibly the smartest person I’ve ever met) who has fought through incredible adversity for most of his life. He suffered a spinal cord injury right before college and although he regained his ability to walk with crutches, his progressive condition at this age has led to him now being bedbound. He has always loved classical music and I believe he would absolutely love a string trio or quartet performance and the opportunity to speak with musicians (hopefully for 1-2 hours at his home in Northbrook). Apologies for not submitting a request sooner, but we only recently confirmed our family’s ability to be in Chicago the weekend of May 2nd. Could you please let us know if you have any availability on May 2nd (we are flexible on time)? We look forward to hearing from you. | $750 |

My name is Meg McElroy (she/her) and I am the Director of Special Projects at AIDS Foundation Chicago. I lead our Getting to Zero Illinois work which is our state's plan to end the HIV epidemic. This year we would like to elevate and celebrate our other non-profit partners who are working alongside us in this space, especially while our public health system is under attack. We are hosting an end of the year celebration on Friday, November 14th from 4:00p-7:00p and were hoping to book music in the vestibule of our conference space from 4:00p-5:30p as people arrive, mingle, and get their buffet dinner. We were thinking a jazz trio might make the most sense in this setting but if that is prohibitive budget wise we think a jazz guitar or piano would also be lovely. For the 90 minutes we have about $500 budgeted (but could try to increase). We know it is a tight turnaround and hope this works for you all and us. Please reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

All notes, dynamic and articulation markings, tempo and style markings, and all other verbiage and notation should be input from the original score - everything that appears on the page of the handwritten score should be input into the Sibelius score. I am paying $1.25 per measure for a 5-instrument score. I haven't added up all the measures, but based on the length of the arrangements, it will be between $500 and $1000 of work, maybe more. It should be an easy job and worth the money for anyone with good proficiency in Sibelius. I will say that though my handwritten scores are eminently legible, they do not scan well into Photoscore / ScanScore / NotateMe. This job is for manual input of the scores. Please describe your use/experience with Sibelius. Send an example of a score you've notated in Sibelius. I will discuss more details with qualified applicants. | $1,000 |
