HMG Live Music Talent Catalogue (updated 2020 July 14)
The Hamilton Musicians’ Guild “Live Music Talent Catalogue”
Experts in event planning agree that the sight and sounds of live music is the most important contribution to the
success of any social function. Live Music can make the difference between the Monotonous and the
Memorable. Your audience will appreciate the difference.
There are in excess of seven hundred musicians in the Hamilton Musicians’ Guild embracing all styles of
musical performance from Bach to Rock. This catalogue is designed to assist you in selecting a professional
group that will play the music of your choice and as a further guide, each group listed has indicated their basic
musical style. There is an abundant variety in each musical category in this catalogue and there should be little
difficulty in selecting a group to suit your requirements.
Shop for your music as you would for any other service and once you have made your choice, the leader will
help you with details pertaining to the type of music, the length of sets, contract, and any special requirements
you may have.
Once you have decided on Live Entertainment, the other pieces will easily fall into place and the success of
your function is assured. Take advantage of this catalogue. It is your guide to the best in live music and Live
Music is best for your Event.
The Music Performance Trust Fund
The Music Performance Trust Fund (MPTF) in conjunction with the Hamilton Musicians’ Guild has been providing grants to help create free
live music performances for the public's entertainment and education for over 65 years. Almost all of our events are co-sponsored, as we
require the involvement of local participants that include arts councils, symphonic organizations, municipalities, veterans groups, school
systems, and healthcare organizations, among others.

Our funding is meant to insure that the professional musicians who are performing are reasonably paid on par with local scale, while assuring
that there is no cost to enjoy the music. The idea is to enhance our communities and enrich lives through music. Our co-sponsored events run
the gamut of musical styles, from classical and opera, to Dixieland, pop, rock, country, jazz, and R&B. Our events often introduce musical styles
that are not easily accessible and many times our events come with an educational element to them.
To apply for a Music Performance Trust Fund (MPTF) grant you will need to seek the assistance of the Hamilton Musicians’ Guild (HMG -
phone: 905-525-4040 or by email - [email protected]). The HMG services the communities of Hamilton (Wentworth County), Halton
County (Burlington, Oakville, Milton), Haldimand County, Grimsby, and Grimsby Beach in Lincoln County. The Guild is experienced in the
application process and can also be helpful in planning and organizing the musical aspect of your event.
Recipients of our grants are required to handle the necessary payroll requirements of hiring professional musicians. We will provide the
financial and contact information necessary to make this happen.
MPTF-funded events must be free of charge and without any conditions for admittance. They cannot be fund-raising events or raffles
regardless of the merit. We do not fund performances for conventions, political campaigns, class reunions, commencement exercises,
workshops or seminars, or for private clubs.
We require grant applications be submitted at least 30 days prior to the performance. Grant recipients should include the MPTF in event
programs, press releases, websites, posted signs, and other public notifications, along with other event sponsors.
We look forward to receiving good quality photos and other materials that can help us inform the public of your good work and the legacy of
the events the MPTF eagerly supports. We always welcome ideas and creative opportunities to expand the public and media awareness of
these great performances and the work of our partners. We also have printed posters and material to help enhance the public's awareness of
our participation.
Once the event happens, we require written certification that the performance was completed, upon
which we initiate the payment of our grants.
Successful events are considered in evaluating future grants, based on timeliness of the application,
overall cooperation, follow up and media support, and the quality of the events themselves.
