Built from a rehearsal room,
not a boardroom

Learning lines, parts, music, or choreography is what artists care about
not software

Sonora was born out of Revv52, a vocal group (choir) with 50+ members of all ages based out of Calgary, Canada. I'm a member and the tools at our disposal were making learning music, choreo, and schedules more difficult than helpful. Like most performing arts groups, Revv52 was held together with a patchwork of tools: forScore for sheet music, Slack for announcements, spreadsheets for schedules, and Google Drive for PDF sheet music and rehearsal tracks that stopped playing when you locked your device.

Tools like those aren't built for performing arts organizations or music educators. They're built for business teams, remote workers, or project managers. They don't understand that rehearsal tracks need to be listened to on the go or that sheet music should be visible while listening to a track.

So I built Sonora: a single platform that understands what performing arts organizations and music educators actually need. Rehearsal track players with many features, program management, section-based communication, and scheduling all in one place and all for one price.

And Sonora is just getting started. I can't wait to hear from you about how Sonora can serve your group and what features you'd like to see next. Being an artist is hard enough, the tools should help you enhance those artistic skills, not be a hindrance to them.
