Leading Classical Music Streaming Service Launches IDAGIO Live with Lineup of Acclaimed Artists
Today, we are launching a real-time video talk series for free to connect artists and audiences directly from home
We are expanding our music platform to provide users with a new and unique real-time video series called IDAGIO Live. With the launch of IDAGIO Live, users will be able to view exclusive live content with a line-up of classical musicians, ensembles and orchestras. Thus, IDAGIO Live will help create a connection between audience and performers — bringing listeners closer to artists and the classical music community together in a time of limited social contact.
Launching the series is renowned baritone Thomas Hampson, who will be kicking off IDAGIO Live with the first video on Wednesday, April 8, 2020 at 1pm EST. IDAGIO is releasing this initiative to help connect its global community through music and engaging content during these unprecedented times, by providing listeners with high-quality music and entertainment from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
In the coming weeks, more musicians and ensembles will participate in IDAGIO Live, including members of the Vienna Philharmonic, Franz Welser-Möst, Iván Fischer and more. All of these artists and their full catalogue of music can also be found on IDAGIO. By streaming any of their tracks on IDAGIO, it helps to support these artists and ensure that they are adequately rewarded for their music through IDAGIO’s Fair Artist Payout model system.
With the release of IDAGIO Live, listeners will be able to:
- Get in touch with a variety of prominent artists for exclusive, live behind-the-scenes video discussions.
- Learn more about the musicians, ensembles and their music, deepening their understanding of classical music.
- Share the experience with thousands of members of the classical music community around the world, by creating new kinds of events in a time of closed concert halls and opera houses.
Listeners can access IDAGIO Live for free by visiting IDAGIO Magazine, where they can learn more about the artists and composers through their profiles on IDAGIO.
