Terence Blanchard Booking Agency Profile
Terence Blanchard has consistently been a creative force for delivering potent musical comments on excruciating American disasters, both recent and historical. One of jazz's most revered trumpeters, he defies expectations by pursuing a variety of artistic endeavors.
Blanchard, a five-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee for best original music, follows Quincy Jones in becoming the second African-American composer to receive two nominations in the same category. Quincy Jones achieved this accomplishment with In Cold Blood and The Color Purple.
The two-time opera composer Blanchard is also well-known for writing Fire Shut Up in My Bones, which is based on the autobiography of renowned author and New York Times columnist Charles Blow. The Metropolitan Opera gave Fire Shut Up in My Bones its New York debut to kick off their season, making it the first opera written by an African-American composer to receive such a distinction. A Grammy nomination for "Best Opera Recording" has just been given to the recording of those performances. According to the New York Times, Blanchard's opera is "boldly touching" and "an outstanding adaptation of Charles Blow's work."
From his significant work composing the scores for over 20 Spike Lee projects over three decades, ranging from the documentary When the Levees Broke to Da 5 Bloods, Blanchard has woven beautiful melodies that created strong backdrops to human stories like Regina King's One Night in Miami; Kasi Lemmons' Eve's Bayou and Harriet; George Lucas' Red Tails; the critically acclaimed drama series Perry Mason; the National Geographic limited series Genius: Aretha; Apple TV’s docuseries They Call Me Magic (for which Blanchard received his second Emmy nom) and Gina Prince Bythewood and Viola Davis’ The Woman King..

"How much does it cost to book Terence Blanchard for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Terence Blanchard booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Terence Blanchard charge for an event. An example fee to book Terence Blanchard is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Terence Blanchard agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Terence Blanchard manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Terence Blanchard for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Terence Blanchard agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Terence Blanchard, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Terence Blanchard booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Terence Blanchard, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
