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: Our 2024-2025 concert season is fully booked. We’re currently accepting proposals for piano recitals during the 2025-2026 season.


Frequently Asked Questions


What happens after I’m invited to perform?

After you accept our invitation to perform for us, we will meet by phone to choose a date and agree on your performance fee. Next, you’ll send us your proposed program. If we think your program needs to be revised, we’ll explain why and suggest some possible changes. After we agree on the program, we’ll send you a performance agreement to review and sign. After we both sign this agreement, your engagement becomes a firm booking.

IMPORTANT: Until we have a signed agreement, either party is free to cancel the engagement or request a date change with no questions asked and no financial obligation.

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 three (3) 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 here 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 cancel it. If that happens, we’ll pay you 1/2 of your performance fee to compensate you for your time and effort. If we re-schedule the concert, we’ll pay you the balance after the concert finally takes place.

Are complimentary tickets available?

Not at this time. Please encourage your family and friends to come to the concert and make a financial contribution along with our other guests. The suggested contribution is $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.
