OMDEX is always in a state of improvement, and we need musicians like you to get us to the next level.

While OMDEX has unmatched technology and ease-of-use, we recognize it has a long way to go before our goal to become the primary resource for artistic programming is fulfilled. It needs significantly more repertoire in its database and the information it does have needs to increase in fidelity such as:

• Movement-specific instrumentation. Some works already have movement-specific instrumentation, but we need a larger percentage of works to have movement-specific instrumentation listed.
• Percussion equipment and personnel needed.
• Which specific variants of instruments (such as E♭ Clarinet or English Horn) are needed.

Therefore, we are looking to add musicians, librarians, conductors, musicologists, and anyone else to the team who can help us improve the information available on OMDEX. Of particular interest are those who...

• ...are passionate about improving the state of orchestral programming to become more equitable, diverse, and representative.
• ...can identify the most relevant, important, and necessary repertoire to be added to OMDEX.
• ...possess the knowledge and experience to enrich highly instrument-specific information. We are especially looking for percussionists who can help us with percussion-specific information.

If you meet any of those criteria, we would love to talk to you. Please get in touch with us!

I'm Interested. Let's Talk

About OMDEX

OMDEX has two primary goals

1. Be the primary resource for the artistic programming of professional, educational, and community orchestras of any ability level that goes beyond the traditional canon.
2. Enable the discovery of and facilitate the programming of new compositions from living composers by making it easy for musicians, conductors, and artistic administrators to find appropriate new works for their ensembles.

What sets OMDEX apart?

• First-class search and filtering mechanisms that are unmatched by any other database of orchestral music.
• Every single work in OMDEX has a direct link to either download, rent, or purchase the work. You will not need to run a separate search to access its score & parts.
• Every single work in OMDEX has the instrument & player information on it. Selected works even have very detailed information such as the keys of instruments and the necessary percussion instruments.
• Free. OMDEX will remain free for the foreseeable future. While there may be paid features later on, there are no paid features currently planned. And even if there were to be new, paid features, all free functionality as it exists today will remain free for users of OMDEX.
