PERFORMANCE REQUESTS

Part of our mission is to share and promote Croatia's rich culture with people of all ages and walks of life in our community. CROATOAN regularly performs at festivals and other events in Ottawa-Gatineau as well as across North America, including Los Angeles and New York City. We are also very active in our local Croatian community, performing at weddings and special events and providing musical accompaniment to the liturgy at St. Leopold Mandić Croatian Parish.

If you are interested in having CROATOAN perform at your event, please contact us at info@croatoan.ca and provide as much information as you can to facilitate the request, such as:

Description of the event, who is organizing, and who are the sponsors?
Date and time of the performance?
Desired length of performance?
Croatian folklore incorporates dance and music. Would you like dancers, musicians, or both?
Depending on the type of event and audience, would you like youth/adult performers (professional), children, or a mix/indifferent?
What kind of stage, if any?
Are dressing or staging areas available?
Amplified sound vs. unplugged?
Parking or special access instructions?
Any other information that could be useful.

Once we receive this information, the Liaison Officer will reach out to our volunteer teachers to determine if there is enough availability among performers. As a performing group with live music and a repertoire that changes year-to-year, we require a certain number of dancers and musicians to attend in order to successfully perform at your event.

Due to the complexity of organizing performances, we are unable to perform at events with less than 3 weeks notice.
