How to Hire UVA Musicians

If you are interested in hiring UVA musicians for private events at or outside of the University of Virginia,  please send an email to music-gigs@virginia.edu. That information will be sent to the students and faculty that have elected to receive emails about performance and teaching opportunities. Those interested will then contact you directly. Please include the following in your e-mail:

• Your contact information (name, phone number, email address)
• Event details (date, time, location, time commitment, remuneration for the musicians)
• Any instrumentation preferences (string quartet, piano, etc.)
• Other pertinent details you have

We recommend that after you are in contact with performers, you have them play or audition for you to assure that they are a good match for your needs.
