A free meeting place for composers and performers of contemporary music. No prizes, no juries, no entry fees.

One-minute sign-up with your Google account — or with your email, if you prefer. We never ask for a phone number, date of birth, address or ID number.

Composer and performer accounts are separate. If you do both, create two accounts — each with its own profile, menus and dashboard.

Membership — what each one includes

Pro profiles are listed separately on Agora Stage and never rank above free ones. The site takes no commission; fees are paid directly between you and the other side.

Agora Stage — your service and fees

Your fees

A suggestion Agora Stage works best when fees stay modest — so a student ensemble can commission a piece, and a young composer can afford a premiere. Just a suggestion — your fees are yours to set.

Fees are shown on your profile and on Agora Stage. Payment and terms are entirely between you and the other side; the site is not a party.

Optional

A square photo works best: JPG, PNG or WebP, at least 400 × 400 pixels, up to 5 MB. A face, or for an ensemble a group photo or logo. It is shown on your public profile.
