Get a big bucket near the entrance that says "donations" on it.

Something I've seen several times is that people can pay whatever they want for the program leaflet/book. That's a way to get some donations but also means you need program leaflets.

Best regards,

Do up a poster that asks for a donation and put it up at the door? Otherwise you can ask the masters of ceremony to ask for donation before/after the concert. The appeal for donation can be done together with publicity for the concert too.

You can always go to some local companies and have them sponsor the recital. Then put there logo or something on the program.
