CMH has the most comprehensive classical music job listings online. Rather than regularly checking two or three or more sites, CMH members can set up a series of Job searches and the site will automatically list latest matching jobs on the members' homepage. In addition, members can save jobs they intend to apply for.
The first fully automated diary service that will improve efficiency across the board, from professional musicians seeking employment to fixers seeking musicians. The CMH Diary service will reduce the often cumbersome and time consuming process of booking musicians and remove the need for multiple phone calls, voicemails and text messages. It will also allow musicians to advertise their availability for work and profile their experience to potential employers.
Through our partnership with TicketSwitch.com, users of CMH can buy tickets for concerts, attractions, theatre and days out.
- Imprimata Self-Publishing
Imprimata Edition (a CMH subsidiary) presents its new service for composers and arrangers, whereby musicians can publish their own work to a highly finished and professionally bound standard. Imprimata Edition gives each work an ISMN (international standard music numbers) and ISBN, which makes them available for order through any existing music or book retailer.
The CMH Organiser enables users to easily organise their daily activities and also 'share' their diary details with other members. For example, members of a string quartet will be able to quickly find times when all four members are available for rehearsals. In addition users can send and receive email from any existing account, backup their address book and store useful documents online.
The Events database will be powered by Concert-Diary.com, the most comprehensive database of UK classical music events. Members will also be able to add information about their own concerts or events by registering with Concert-Diary.com.
- CMH Forums and Classifieds
Members can pose questions to other members, discuss music, concerts
or artists in the CMH Forums. Using CMH classifieds, members can sell
their equipment, advertise accommodation or make purchases from other
members.
Coming Soon...
The CMH Directory is the largest directory of classical music,
resources and all related services in the UK and Ireland on the web.
