Cadenza is a platform for the classical and jazz music profession: discovery, hiring, recruitment, events, and community in one place. This page covers what we are, who runs us, how to cite our work, and how to reach us.
Discovery for auditions, jobs, competitions, festivals, and admissions, plus a Hiring OS for orchestras, a School Recruitment OS for conservatories, and an Event Revenue Suite for ticketing and donations.
Reporting and analysis of the classical and jazz field — hiring practices, arts administration, institutional governance — written from an institutional-analysis perspective, with sources cited inline.
A discussion community for musicians covering auditions, instruments, schools, careers, gear, and the music life.
Cadenza is built by working musicians in top US orchestras outside Boston — several within reasonable distance of one another. The team combines performance careers with the engineering and editorial work behind the platform.

Cadenza served 2M+ reads in the last 60 days across listings, organization and school pages, events, the forum, and discovery surfaces.
The platform indexes opportunities, organizations, schools, and events worldwide. Where we describe an organization as “indexed” or “verified,” that does not imply the organization is a customer or partner — see Trust & Procurement for what each label means.
Our articles cite their public sources inline; please follow those citations to the primary record. Cadenza’s editorial standards describe how we research, verify, and correct our work.
