Yes. Musicians can browse opportunities, save listings, set deadline alerts, build their profile, and track applications at no cost. There are no premium tiers or paywalls for individual musicians. If a school or organization sets its own official application fee, Cadenza shows that fee and the small checkout service fee before payment.

When you claim your organization, you get 1 free listing credit you can use for any listing type — a job, audition, sub call, competition, or program. This lets you try Cadenza risk-free before committing to a plan.

Pay-as-you-go is ideal for organizations posting 1–3 listings per year at $249 each (your first listing is free; sub/extra and program rates are on request). Organization subscriptions ($990–$4,800/year) include unlimited listings and are better for organizations posting regularly; schools and military bands have their own plans. Four job/audition listings ($249 each = $996) cost more than a Founding Pass at $990/year — every listing after that is free.

A limited-time rate available to early adopters. Once you lock in the founding rate ($990/year), that price stays the same for the life of your subscription — even as standard prices increase. The founding cohort is limited to the first 50 organizations — first come, first served — and checkout closes automatically once the cohort is full.

No plan renews automatically. Every paid plan is a fixed one-year term, billed once, so there is no recurring charge to cancel. Before the term ends we email you a renewal reminder; if you choose not to renew, your organization returns to the free tier when the term ends. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers service you have not materially used (Terms §7.1); after that, annual plans are not refunded pro rata. If a Founding Pass lapses, rejoining later is at the then-current rate.

Yes. For large organizations, multi-campus schools, or agencies we offer enterprise plans starting at $18,000/year with custom data exports, a dedicated success manager, and white-glove onboarding. Contact us to discuss your needs.

Donations added to a purchase are processed at 5%. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no minimums.

A professional-services practice operated by Cadenza for arts and culture institutions, covering board succession, executive search, interim leadership, governance, revenue and advancement, and related advisory work. It is separate from Cadenza's software plans.

Yes. Cadenza is accepting Executive Search & Advisory engagements worldwide. Every service has a fixed professional fee published on the advisory pages, a proposal is generated on screen when you start an engagement, and one invoice for the full fee follows acceptance.

Retained searches are fixed professional fees, never a percentage of compensation: $65,000 for director-level roles, $110,000 for executive director or chief executive roles, and from $150,000 for music director, artistic director or major international searches, scoped individually and fixed in the proposal. Fees are payable in full on acceptance.

A person researched for a search is not treated as an applicant. Nobody is presented to a client without their consent, no references or background checks happen without written authorization, and nothing is published about a candidacy without permission. Candidates can correct factual records about themselves, opt out of future contact, and raise a complaint through a defined route.

No. Search and advisory clients are never required to adopt Cadenza products, adviser compensation does not depend on any software cross-sell, and an adviser may recommend a different product where that is the right answer. Confidential advisory information is also never used to target marketplace recommendations, advertising or editorial coverage.
