Creating Your Recital Program
The Cali School of Music uses ProBuilder, a self-service online concert program creator to facilitate and streamline concert program design and production. We require the utilization of ProBuilder for all student and faculty recitals. A QR code will be posted in front of Leshowitz Recital Hall, 201 and G55 for viewing your program on a smartphone.
Note: Due to the University’s policy on preserving the environment and conserving funds, the method of distributing recital programs has been updated. Instead of printing physical copies, the programs will now be accessible through QR codes. This eco-friendly approach allows attendees to conveniently access the program details by scanning the QR code with their smartphones or devices. By transitioning to QR codes, the University aims to reduce paper waste and contribute to a more sustainable event environment.
Please feel free to print your program in advance for anyone in your audience that might have difficulty with a QR code on their smartphone.
You must submit your program at least two weeks prior to your recital to ensure that it is uploaded to the website in time for the performance date.
