THE PROPOSITION
When there is one free evening, what is genuinely worth seeing?
In a great cultural city there may be dozens of performances — but only a handful that are truly exceptional.
Gary Brown provides the specialist knowledge behind that decision: an informed assessment of the artists, conductor, orchestra, production, venue and performance, together with the judgement to identify what is genuinely worthy of a discerning guest's time.
“The hotel's concierge knows the city.
Gary Brown knows the theatre and music.”

FOR HOTELS & CONCIERGES
Designed to complement — never replace — the concierge.
The hotel retains its relationship with the guest. Gary provides the specialist knowledge behind the recommendation.
This is not a travel agency or ticketing service. It is an independent advisory resource that can be called upon when a guest is seeking something particularly distinguished, individual or difficult to assess through conventional channels.
The service can be adapted to the needs of an individual property, concierge team or international hotel group.
A SIMPLE OBJECTIVE
To ensure that an evening at the opera, concert or theatre is genuinely worthy of the guest's time.
CONTACT
A personal conversation.
For hotel groups, concierge organisations and individual luxury properties interested in discussing the service, Gary would be delighted to arrange an introductory conversation.
