Creating Your Printed 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 Hall, 201 and G55 that links to www.montclair.edu/music/programs-for-recitals for viewing your program on a smartphone. We will no longer be physically printing programs for student recitals.
For Student Recitals: Your guest will scan the QR code at the door and choose “Student Recital Programs” to search for your name on the student recital page where your digital program will be provided next to your event. Important:Please feel free to print your program for anyone in your audience that might have difficulty with a QR code on their smartphone.
For Other Events: Your guest will scan the QR code at the door and choose “Event Programs” for all other events that have a program in Leshowitz Recital Hall, 201 or G55 and that will link to a page that directs your guests to the Cali Live page where the link for the digital program will be provided under “Programs for Upcoming Events”. Important: Please feel free to print your program 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.
