Frequently Asked Questions

How does this website work, exactly?
The objective of this website is to promote musical talents from all across Virginia. Fill out one of our Listing Submission Forms for a chance to be added to our ever-growing directory of Virginia-based musicians. We promote your concerts, online lessons, master class, or anything music related. We’re currently offering general listings on our website. If you want to be listed, just let us know and we will list you there with links to your website and social media pages.
What kind of listing can I put on this site?
We’re currently inviting musicians, music teachers, and music venues based in Virginia to fill out a Listing Submission Form. We’re not accepting any other type of listing at this time.
What do I need in order to put up a listing?
We require that all listings on our website represent people or places based in Virginia. For musicians, we require a promotional photo, a brief description of yourself, and any links you wish to include in your profile (up to three). For instructors, we require a photo, a description of your services, and a link to where our viewers can contact you. For music venues, we require an address and a link to your website.
Please keep in mind that filling out a Listing Submission Form does not guarantee a spot on this website. Listings will be accepted at our own discretion.
Do I need to pay for my listing?
You pay nothing for your listings. Our mission is to ultimately help Virginia musicians find a wider audience. As such, we’re not currently asking for a fee from any artists on our website.
I have an issue with my listing, what can I do?
Not to worry, we would be more than happy to help! Just contact us at info@musicfest.org or call us at 540-459-3396, and we will work with you to resolve any issues you have with your listing.
Can I remove my listing after filling out a form?
If you would like to remove your listing, please email us at info@musicfest.org with your request.
Should I send you a list of my upcoming shows?
If you would like us to advertise any specific shows on our events page, feel free to send them in an email to info@musicfest.org. However, it is not required to send us your upcoming shows to put up a listing on this site. We also periodically check our artists’ touring schedules for shows to add if they’re listed prominently on their website.
Why did you make this website?
As a nonprofit music presenter, SVMF’s mission to bring music to the Shenandoah Valley with its summer concert series as well as provide educational and enriching musical experiences. This website will help SVMF to fulfill that mission by virtually guiding music lovers to great performances and events. There is so much going on online and so much clutter that we want to make it easier for the public at large to find your work.
How are you paying for this?
Right now, out of our own pockets. You can also use the Donate button on our main website if you or your friends or audience members want to help alleviate the cost.
