This site was developed and is hosted by Broken Consort Technologies. Broken Consort Technologies is a consortium of like-minded and multi-talented individuals who have decided to give back to the community and civic music community in a way that corresponds both to a definite need as well as their own skill-sets. The disparate and varied team is led by Richard L. Byrd and Todd Jonz, with scores of others lending their time, talent, and viewpoints to keep everything running smoothly. Our goal is to offer assistance to community musicians and ensembles worldwide with quality, low-cost (free, whenever possible) web applications which assist these organizations in the care and feeding of running a non-profit group.
