Cadenza Artists is seeking three (3) experienced Booking Agents to join our growing team. These roles will support the following areas:
- West Coast Performing Arts Centers / Touring Market
- Northeast Performing Arts Centers / Touring Market
- Symphonic Projects, working with orchestras nationally and internationally

For the PAC-focused roles, residency in the West Coast or Northeast, respectively, is preferred but not required. Ideal candidates will bring existing relationships with presenters and buyers in their respective regions.
We are looking for professionals with experience in sales, booking, and relationship-building, particularly within live entertainment. Successful candidates are collaborative, proactive, and thrive in mission-driven environments. A passion for the performing arts is a plus, but most important is a demonstrated ability to connect with people, close deals, and help artists succeed.
This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by bringing high-quality artistic experiences, including concerts, residencies, tours, and special projects, to communities around the world.
To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter, and clearly indicate which role you are applying for in your message to the employer. Interviews will begin mid to late February 2026.
