ClassicalMusicHomepage.com (“CMH”) is designed for all those who are active participants in the classical music world, professional and amateur musicians, organisers and service providers. The site will provide essential tools, information and links which will greatly improve personal organisation and productivity, aid communication between participants and promote musical enterprise nationally and internationally.
Who is CMH for?
The site is aimed at musicians, professional and amateur, orchestral and choral society managers, venue managers, agents, institutions, local music groups, suppliers and technicians, teachers and music schools, competition and event organisers.
What does CMH offer?
CMH has the most comprehensive classical music job listings online. Rather than regularly checking two or three sites, CMH members can set up a series of Job searches and CMH will list matching jobs on the members' homepage. In addition members can save jobs they intend to apply for.
CMH presents the very best reference material on the web in one convenient location covering dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopedia, theory, analysis and instrument specific material. CMH members get full access to Grove Online which includes Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Grove Opera, Grove Jazz and Grove Art. In addition all members can listen to 19,700 classical CDs through the Naxos Music Library!
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.
All current News stories of interest are catalogued and linked
from CMH. 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.
Coming Soon...
All CMH musicians will be able to profile themselves individually along with any ensembles or groups they belong to. Each profile will include biographies, CV and experience, photographs, audio and/or video files, along with any links or purchase recommendations.
Every member of ClassicalMusicHomepage will be able to personalise their homepage to include any RSS feed, such as news, share prices or sports. Members can also check their email, return saved search items such as jobs or reference and view their calendar from their homepage.
The CMH Directory is the largest directory of classical music, resources and all related services in the UK and Ireland on the web. Categorised and tagged by musicians, the CMH directory will offer the fastest way to find Classical Music content on the web.
By partnering with established retailers in the sector, CMH will offer members discounted sheet music, instruments and supplies through the first online classical music department store. Each member will be able to save a list of favourite purchases for regular delivery, for example, strings, reeds, or valve oil.
- 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.
