How to use it
Everything you need to know, step by step: pick your point of view.
-
1. Sign up in a minute
Enter the orchestra office email and open the link you receive. Add the orchestra name and city and accept the terms. No password.
-
2. Complete your profile
In Account → Profile add music director, introduction, references and website. A complete profile makes musicians say yes.
-
3. Import your trusted substitutes
In "My substitutes" paste a list of emails (even from Excel). They get your requests first, before anyone else.
-
4. Post a request
Instrument and part (2nd oboe, concertmaster, section…), rehearsal and concert schedule with places, fee, refunds, lodging, shuttle and maximum distance in km. For a whole ensemble use "New production".
-
5. See who is available
See who said yes, ranked by reliability and with reasons: verified engagements, experience with the programme, distance, colleagues who recommended them. Need more answers? Widen the search.
-
6. Confirm with one tap
The chosen musician gets the full sheet, contacts and calendar; the others are told the seat is filled. Contract and payment stay between you.
-
7. If someone withdraws
The seat reopens by itself: the musician's backups and everyone suitable are notified at once. You get an email with the reason.
-
8. Rate after the concert
Four questions, twenty seconds: preparation, punctuality, sound, ensemble. Ratings build a network of trust for everyone.
Tips
- Less than 3 days away? The request is urgent and goes to every suitable musician at once.
- The more details you add (times, places, refunds), the more answers you get, and faster.
- In Account you can add your engagement calendar to your phone or create a key for an AI assistant.
-
1. Sign up in a minute
Email, link, then instruments, city and the countries you work in. No CV to write.
-
2. Set up your profile
Choose how far you are willing to travel, add your degree and a short introduction. You can switch to "not available" any time.
-
3. Build your backup network
Name up to 5 trusted colleagues (with their consent). When you can't accept, the offer goes to them: the orchestra finds someone and you look good.
-
4. Receive offers
They arrive by email and in your inbox only when they fit you: instrument, free dates, distance. Each offer shows estimated fee, schedule, map, how to get there and where to stay.
-
5. Answer yes or no
One tap. If you say no, the colleagues in your backup network are notified. Answering quickly improves your chances of being chosen.
-
6. Confirmed!
You get contacts and a calendar to add to your phone. On the production board you share rooms and car rides with colleagues.
-
7. Something came up?
From the engagement page you can withdraw and give the reason: we notify the orchestra, your backups and the other suitable musicians at once.
-
8. Your career builds itself
Every engagement becomes verified, and ratings become public after 3, with a right to reply. You rate orchestras too: payments and organisation.
Tips
- Add countries and widen your distance to get more offers.
- Keep your availability up to date: on tour? Switch to "not available".
- In Account you can subscribe to your engagement calendar or connect an AI assistant that answers for you.
-
1. Sign up
Email, link and two details: who you are and where. No password.
-
2. Describe the event
Type of event and of line-up (orchestra, quartet, piano bar, band…), date, times, place, guests and what is already on site. The budget is optional.
-
3. Receive quotes and ask questions
Suitable ensembles answer with price, deposit and what is included. You can write to each before choosing.
-
4. Choose with one tap
The chosen ensemble is confirmed at once; the others are told politely.
-
5. Organise everything on one page
Direct contacts, messages, deposit and balance, preparation, PDF summary and calendar reminder.
-
6. Rate after the event
Quality, punctuality, professionalism: you help others choose well.
Tips
- List the moments of the event (ceremony, drinks, dinner): quotes will be more precise.
- Payment and contract are between you and the ensemble: put deposit and conditions in writing.
- The earlier you ask, the more choice you have: for weddings, a few months ahead.
