Recital programs that print as a folded booklet
Type or paste your performers and pieces. Program Fold fills in the composer's full name and dates, lays out the program, and gives you a PDF with the pages already in folding order. Print it two-sided, fold, staple.
Free. No account. Your program stays in your browser; it is never uploaded.
What it does
Composer dates filled in
Start typing "Burg" and pick Friedrich Burgmüller (1806–1874). About 12,000 composers come with the site, from Bach to Gillock and Christopher Norton, and more are looked up on Wikidata.
Pieces by name
Pick a work from MusicBrainz and get the key and catalogue number: "Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9 No. 2". There's a link to the score on IMSLP when one exists.
Booklets in the right order
A program on half sheets has its pages in a strange order: 8 and 1 on the front of the first sheet, 2 and 7 on the back. Program Fold does that for 4, 8, 12 or 16 pages, and prints a one-page "how to print" sheet for your exact booklet.
Paste from a spreadsheet
Copy the sign-up sheet out of Excel or Google Sheets and paste it. Program Fold reads the column names (Student, Piece, Composer, Teacher…) and asks only about the ones it can't place.
Dance shows too
Acts and numbers, the class, the music, the choreographer, and a "dancers in this number" list under each one.
A phone version and a QR sign
Every program also works as a web page you can text to families, and as a printable QR sign for the door if you'd rather skip paper.

What it costs
Everything above is free, with a small "Made with Program Fold · tomorrowish.dev" line on the back page. Pro ($4 for one program, or $9 for a year) will remove that line and add the Holiday theme, your own colours, sponsor and "ads from parents" pages, and saved programs. Pro isn't for sale yet; you can ask to be told when it is.
