In a world of paywalls, noise, and algorithms, we make live classical music visible.

You can find the best Thai food within 3 blocks in 2 seconds.
But try finding which string quartet is playing down the street tonight?
Bonne chance.

Culture calendars bury concerts under monster truck rallies and pop-up shops.
Event apps prioritize whoever pays to play.
And Ticketmaster? Built to extract, not connect.

Meanwhile, real concerts are happening just around the corner.
Stunning, surprising, often free. But invisible to the people who’d love them.

The Platform Ticketmaster Should Be... If It Cared About People

We built the Live Music Project to change that.
No ads. No paywalls. No gatekeeping.
Just clean, human-curated listings connecting artists and audiences freely.

Over 200,000 people use the LMP Concert Calendar each year.
Because it works.
And because it’s built for music lovers, by music lovers.

Why Your Gift Matters

Every concert you help make visible supports the human work behind it:
our Calendar Editor and volunteers sleuthing concerts in our focus cities and beyond,
the weekly and monthly digests that land in inboxes,
and the technology that keeps it all free and open.

It costs about $5 to make one concert discoverable.
Here’s what your support makes possible:

$25 → Helps our volunteers surface and add 5 hidden concerts to the calendar.
$55 → Funds a weekly digest email that puts local concerts directly into inboxes—no algorithms required.
$100 → Powers human curation for 20 concerts across our focus cities.
$250 → Fuels a full month of concert discovery in one city.
$500 → Supports the Calendar Editor and volunteer team uncovering and sharing 100 performances.
$1 000 → Keeps 200 concerts visible plus the research, review, and connection work behind them.

Together, we’ll keep culture discoverable, not buried.

From Our Founder

“It started with a single piece—Brahms’ Double Concerto—and a moment of awe.
When I couldn’t find a live performance anywhere, I realized something bigger was broken.
Even though I'm not a programmer, I built LMP from scratch with the help of some wonderful people.
I was compelled to connect orchestras and audiences and fill those seats.”

— Shaya, Founder, Live Music Project
