Custom Tags

Want to commission a custom tag?

For $100, Director Erik Stenswold & our music team will compose one for you, and Rittenhouse Sound will perform it at an upcoming concert.

Deadline to have your tag featured in the Sounds of the Season Winter 2025 concert is November 1st, 2025!

A “tag” is a short snippet of vocal music that functions, typically, as the last segment of a song. Nowadays, tags are often written as individual, standalone pieces for singers to gather and learn on-the-spot as a form of musically-oriented socialization.

The team will work with a phrase, image, and/or story that you provide, and you'll get a bespoke tag to share and enjoy forever.

Some examples of prompts/ideas: "Something silly for my brothers 35th birthday”, "For my mom’s retirement from teaching - she loved her students dearly.”

Scroll further down to see & hear an actual commissioned tag from Spring 2025.

You may ask to schedule a 1-on-1 consultation with Erik to discuss your wishes in further detail.
