NEW MEDIA THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC IN 100 YEARS MEDIA A THREAD OR OPPORTUNITY? ROB OVERMAN MUSICIAN | MUSICOLOGIST MUSIC CRITIC UNIVERSITY PROF ORCHESTRA CEO ARENA PRODUCER MEDIA PRODUCER ARTISTIC DIRECTOR/HEAD OF STRATEGY STINGRAY Quote: Nordic Orchestra Conference 2009

Most orchestras are not at all in control of their own media production and distribution. The marketing/pr budgets are spent at home on substantial program books and print campaigns reaching mainly the same audiences instead of reaching new consumers and creating an international brand. If orchestras gain control of their own video production and video distribution they might reach a totally new audience, worldwide. And with numbers they never have in the traditional way. By creating their own attractive and high quality video production, by filming their most important concerts and projects, by active storytelling the orchestra suddenly has a perfect tool to syndicate their brand to a wide range of media channels. TV, DVD/Blu-ray, VOD, narrow casting, mobile, YouTube and social media are waiting for your content.

New Media is the biggest opportunity for Classical Music in 100 years new audiences, new presentation formats and new distribution channels are within your reach. ABOUT STINGRAY Headquarters in , Offices in the U.S., U.K., , Switzerland, France, Israel, Australia, South Korea, and Singapore.
