Symphony.live and Wolfgang - a perfect match
Video concerts with captions
Launched in September 2022, Symphony.live embarked on a dual mission: to unite orchestras from around the world and to enhance the accessibility and engagement of classical music for enthusiasts worldwide.
The addition of Wolfgang seamlessly aligns with this mission. Featuring concerts with caption, Wolfgang guides viewers to a deeper understanding of the music, offering an enriched classical music experience, thus strengthening the bond between orchestras and their audience.
Wolfgang: stories that appeal to the imagination.
The Wolfgang app was launched in the Netherlands in 2015. Its success has grown rapidly, the app is currently being used by European symphony orchestras, concert venues and festivals. Wolfgang does not offer dry theoretical knowledge, but rather explanations and stories that appeal to the imagination – based on knowledge, anecdotes and interpretations related to the music.
Wolfgang lets you experience the richness of classical music and tells the stories behind the music. And as of now also available to the audience of Symphony.live.
