About Us
Cut the Chord Entertainment was founded by former orchestra executives who recognize that every performance is more than a concert. They are memorable celebrations for which music was the focal point, just like weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Celebrations of Life, and even corporate events. Through access to hundreds of conservatory-trained classical musicians and conductors around the country and partnering with composers and arrangers capable of creating scores to fit the theme of virtually any event, Cut the Chord set out to connect the world with music that defines the milestones in everyone’s lives, making the whole world a concert hall.
Cut the Chord also possesses a library of packaged orchestral performances that intentionally weave classical and contemporary music together, cleverly designed to attract and retain new audiences to classical performing arts. Understanding the financial, audience recruitment, and retention challenges facing orchestras of all sizes, Cut the Chord offers these programs at a competitive price point compared to traditional tribute show packages.
