If you often perform the same pieces, you can create a database of composers and compositions that you can use later to create your events faster - example of a composition

If you often perform the same pieces, you can create a database of composers and compositions that you can use later to create your events faster.

Here you can create a composer and composition title, for example:

Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)
L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppaea), SV 308

You can also add extra information to each composition, such as program notes, quotes and composers. 

This is especially useful when you perform the same program with the same people. 

Then, when creating your events, rather than copy-paste your program and program notes all the time, you can simply choose the composition from the dropdown menu and all the information you saved will be displayed automatically 

Add a Composer

To add a composer to your database:

  • go to admin panel
  • information tab (1)
  • composer (2)
  • click on the plus icon next to Composers title (3)

In the composers page: 

  • add the name and surname of the composer (you can also add when the composer was born for example) (4)
  • click create (5)

  • click on the flag (6)
  • translate the composers name as well (7)

 

Manage Composers
