Core Memory Music is looking for soloists and small ensembles to perform in our chamber music series. We want to showcase your artistry and provide our audience with a rich, varied mix of music each season.

Our concerts take place inside a modern home in southern Rhode Island, a few miles from the Atlantic coast. The performance space seats up to 30 people and features a Steinway concert grand in excellent condition. Concerts are informal and we encourage performers to interact with the audience. We provide meals, lodging, and ground transportation while you’re here, and we’ll help with your travel expenses.

Performance Space

If this opportunity interests you, please introduce yourself. If you don’t have a website, include your bio or CV and links to some of your recent recordings. If your proposal interests us and seems likely to appeal to our audience, we’ll reach out and ask you to schedule a phone meeting.

NOTE: We are currently booking artists for the 2025-2026 concert season.


Frequently Asked Questions


What happens after I accept your invitation to perform?

After you accept our invitation to perform for us, we’ll choose a concert date and agree on the performance fee. This is what we call a “soft” booking and we’ll reserve that date for you. Either of us can cancel a soft booking or request a date change with no questions asked and no financial obligation.

Please send us your proposed program no later than three months ahead of your concert date. If we think your program needs to be revised, we’ll explain why and suggest some possible changes. After we agree on your program, we’ll send you a performance agreement to review and sign. The booking becomes “firm” after we both sign this agreement.

In the unlikely event that we decide to cancel a firm booking, we’ll pay you 1/2 of your performance fee and ask you to re-schedule it. If and when your concert finally takes place, you’ll be paid the balance.

How long should I plan to perform?

Please prepare a minimum of 60 minutes of music. Most of our concerts are divided into two segments with a 15-minute intermission. Encores are optional but much appreciated by our audience.

Where is the concert venue?

The address of the venue is 103 North Road, Wakefield, Rhode Island 02879. Driving time from Providence, Newport, Westerly, and southeastern Connecticut is under an hour, and Amtrak’s Kingston Station is only five miles away.

Map and Directions

When should I plan to arrive?

Please plan to arrive at least two hours before your performance is scheduled to begin. If you’re traveling several hours to get here, please plan to arrive on the day before your concert. We’re happy to provide lodging at the venue for up to two nights.

Will my concert be recorded?

If you would like us to make an audio recording of your concert, please let us know in advance. We have a simple two-mic system that works best for soloists but can be used for ensembles as well. The quality is suitable for private use. All recordings belong to the artist.

Do you ever postpone or cancel concerts?

If we don’t get enough advance reservations, we may decide that your concert is not financially viable and we’ll ask you to re-schedule it. If we previously signed a written agreement, we’ll also pay you 1/2 of your performance fee.

Are complimentary tickets available?

Not at this time. Please encourage your family and friends to come and contribute what they feel your performance is worth—we suggest $40 per person, but any amount is welcome.

Where can I find publicity about my concert?

The most reliable source of concert information is the concert schedule on our website.
