The standard classical music concert is a ritual that has remained unchanged for 150 years. The way dance and theater are performed has evolved steadily right up to the present day – even museums are constantly after new ways to bring their exhibits to life. But most classical music performance practices remain resolutely stuck in the 19th century.

Sympho has invented a new performance concept, at once more accessible and visceral than the traditional concert-hall experience. Gone are the barriers separating orchestra from audience. Innovative theatrical techniques borrowed from contemporary theatre – alternative spatial positioning, lighting – help invigorate a concert-hall experience gone musty with tradition.

Our concerts are movie-length, with a maximum level of stimuli, both auditory and visual. There is a guiding concept driving each concert and animating the music, and the whirling mix of old and new music acknowledges the lack of boundaries in our post-iPod society.

This is not the classical music that whimpers from the speakers in your dentist’s office. It’s alive. And kicking. It’s going to grab you and start shaking. It’s going to give you what you never dreamed you could get from an orchestra concert.

You deserve it. Come take part in an exceptional experience.
