Mission

Mission and Vision

To make collaboration simpler and life better for musicians who perform live in community — and to streamline season planning, ensemble communication, and guest-artist collaboration for the directors who lead them.

Why this, why now

Live local music is an exceptionally segmented industry. A musician might work in a church on Sunday morning, substitute at a different church across town that evening, rehearse with a chamber group midweek, and accompany a youth orchestra on Saturday. Each organization has different needs and runs on different communication and planning systems that musicians learn and switch between. The solution is adaptive planning that can cross genres and ensemble types, with familiar communication and season planning in a single platform.

What we're building

A single home for people, planning, and institutional memory. Musicians own their profile. Organizations subscribe to the tools they need to run a season. Guest artists and substitutes step in with full context. Everyone gets to focus on the music.

By musicians, for musicians

Cantoris is built by musicians who also happen to be technical. The core of intentional.music comes from those of us who have worked in music ministry. We know how different the church year can be between denominations, and how difficult it can be to transition between them. We know what it takes to find a last-minute alto. We know why a substitute organist needed the plan two weeks ago, not the morning of.
