See Audition OSCadenza is free for musicians, so sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, basses, organists, and accompanists keep public profiles you can search by voice part, instrument, location, and availability. Post a need and it surfaces to the ones who fit.
Tuned to the program year, the scholar cycle, and the festal surges.
Most section-leader and organist searches open Jan–May for a fall start. Post early and reach candidates before the rush.

Post a $99 sub callA Director of Music or organist opening can sit for months in a thin local market. When you want more of the right musicians to see it, you can promote any published role — the same self-serve add-ons any listing on Cadenza can buy. It’s never required: your posting stays free either way.
Pin your organist, director-of-music, or section-leader posting to the top of the worship results with a ★ Featured badge, so more of the singers and organists already searching Cadenza land on it first.
Buy a sponsored slot in the next weekly newsletter emailed to opted-in musicians — a direct nudge to church-music candidates who may not be actively browsing that week.
Post free first, then promote when you’re ready — you pick the listing and the add-on on your own listings page. One-time, no subscription, and never required to fill a role.
Musicians who saved a matching search and chose instant alerts are emailed the moment your worship role publishes — a targeted email to the people already looking for exactly that role, not a mass blast. Post it and the match goes out on its own.
