Five Seasons Music, as a business, is not appropriately positioned to ask performers to donate time or items. If you wish performers to donate time or items, your organisation will need to contact individual celebrities or their representational management directly. Five Seasons Music does not furnish these contact details.
As Five Seasons Music receives an unmanageable number of charitable requests and as we are not a representational agency, enquiries for performers coming from charitable organisations are not accepted by us. Five Seasons Music will only engage a performer for a charity if a sponsoring company or individual wishes to make a booking on behalf of a charity. Then, all enquiries, contracting and invoicing must be handled by the sponsor. Fees will be as charged for an equivalent corporate engagement.
The exception to this rule is when a speaker or artist is being engaged to perform at an event or dinner where tickets are being sold to pay for the performer or speaker and the activity's profit is to be retained by the charity.
Schools/universities, not-for-profit businesses, local and central government, hospitals etc are not considered charities.
We trust you will understand our position in this regard. If you feel your proposal requires special attention or is particularly unique, please email charities@5sm.co.za and we will review the details.
Thank you,
The Five Seasons Team
