Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The Ensemble Season Planner is a ready made AnnuCal template for choirs, orchestras, and ensembles that shows rehearsals, concerts, board work, member activities, and finances as five calendars in one shared season view. After you add it to your account, you can adapt it to your own season.

The Ensemble Season Planner starts in September aligned with the concert year running from September to June. The year start is freely configurable in AnnuCal, for example January for ensembles that plan by calendar year. The whole season sits in one continuous view instead of being split across two calendar years.

The Ensemble Season Planner shows rehearsal phases and concerts as time spans side by side. You can see early whether enough rehearsal time sits before each concert say, an intensive rehearsal week before the Christmas concert and whether dates clash with meetings or grant deadlines.

The Ensemble Season Planner is for choir directors, conductors, board members, and organizers in choirs, orchestras, ensembles, and music societies who want to plan their whole season across areas instead of in separate lists and group chats.
