MUSICIANS ROSTER

Search by Style

Welcome to the
---------Los Angeles County Arts Commission's
----------------------------Musicians Roster
...the newest addition to the Free Concerts in Public Sites program! In our continuing effort to make the arts accessible to Los Angeles County, the Arts Commission is pleased to launch this comprehensive database of performers approved for Free Concerts in Public Sites.

How it works
The Roster is searchable by name of artist, and by music style. Some music styles are broken into subcategories to better distinguish the nuances of a music genre. For instance, jazz is a general music category, but there are also more specific subcategories of jazz including smooth jazz, Latin jazz, etc. As the Musicians Roster grows, so will the different styles of music available to the communities of Los Angeles County for Free Concerts in Public Sites.

How it happened
Los Angeles County-based musicians applied for Roster consideration during spring 2003. In May, a panel of experienced and respected professionals associated with Los Angeles County music and/or presenting communities convened to evaluate the very first round of Roster applicants. Selection criteria were based on musical proficiency and ability to work well and cooperatively with other organizations as representatives of this program.

Who is on the Roster
A total of 63 groups have been approved for the Roster. They will reside on this database for three years, at which time they may reapply. Roster artists can perform up to three concerts per year.
The Musicians Roster’s annual application process will open in January/February each year. Artists interested in applying to the Roster should read the musicians guidelines and check the application timeline at www.lacountyarts.org/free.html.

Audio streaming was made possible by an agreement with the American Federation of Musicians.
Who uses the Roster
Producing organizations applying to present Free Concerts in Public Sites are required to select performers from the Musicians Roster. The Roster is also a resource for the community at-large to survey the rich diverse pool of talent available to them in Los Angeles County.
