Performing at Cadenza
Cadenza has developed a great reputation for providing a quality space for performers. We work hard to maintain that reputation.
As a result, we get many requests from performers to book dates at Cadenza. We generally book 6 - 10 shows a month, mostly on Fridays and Saturdays; with some Thursdays and Sundays.
We try to balance booking our regular performers with a selection of performers new to Cadenza. If you are interested in performing, please send us some information about yourself and your music. We are interested in very good musicians who are also experienced performers and who can connect with an audience. We will consider solo performers as well as bands of up to about 8 members. We will consider almost any genre, except hard rock.
Our typical audience demographic is middle-aged and older.
We try to respond to all inquiries but, honestly, we can't get to everyone, there is not enough time. If you don't get a response, please feel to follow up.
We are thrilled that there are so many great musicians who would like to perform at Cadenza. Thank you!
Performer Payment
Effective March 1, 2024, our standard payment is based on a percentage of ticket sales minus a small retainer taken from total ticket sales.
​
While we promote all of our shows, we also encourage our performers to promote their shows enthusiastically. It's a collaborative effort; more tickets sold is better for everyone!
