Parties
Identify full legal names and contact information for presenter and chorale; include entity type if non-individual.
A written Chorale Performance Agreement protects performers and presenters by documenting expectations, payment terms, and risk allocation; it also supports enforcement if disputes arise. Properly executed electronically, it meets U.S. e-signature rules under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and most state UETA statutes when parties consent to electronic records.
Community choirs, university music departments, religious congregations, and independent presenters commonly use this agreement to formalize engagements.
The document is equally useful for larger professional choruses and for presenters who must manage logistics, insurance, and publicity obligations.
