• Performer Referral Request Form

    - Please use this form to request referrals for performers from Peabody. We'll then share the request with our community of highly qualified students and alumni.
    - You will receive applications via email from interested performers through our posting and application system, Handshake.
    - Please contact launchpad@jhu.edu if you have questions or concerns.
    In consideration of COVID-19, Peabody performers have the right to perform masked if they prefer to do so for all events listed through this service.
  • Please select the hourly rate range you are budgeting per performer from the list below. Our service does not set rates; the final rates will be negotiated and confirmed directly with the performers. For reference, in our experience, rates from around $150-250 per hour are typically competitive in our area. Keep in mind that rates may vary significantly based on factors such as instrument/performance type, location, equipment needs, repertoire, and other specific requirements of your request. If you're unsure about estimating an appropriate rate for performers, we recommend reviewing the guidelines provided by 802 Local. These outline current industry standards and fair compensation practices.

  • Please feel free to include any other relevant information in the box below.
  • We usually close requests a few days prior to the event or one month in advance, whichever comes first. Listings can remain open for up to one year. If you prefer a specific closing date for your request, please specify it here. Additionally, you can email us at any time to close your listing.
  • By submitting this form, I approve Peabody representatives to share this performer referral request and my contact information with Peabody students and alumni on Handshake, and agree to receive communications from Peabody representatives and performers via email. I also understand that I or my business will be hiring performers directly, and am responsible for any required tax or employment forms.
