Classical Music Live Streaming & VOD


The State of Play today: hot from MIDEM 2009

As I mentioned before the yearly Midem conference in Cannes (disappointing temperature this year) is a great inspiration to me. This year I presented an overview of what's hot on the web for VOD and Live streams: next year I promise to write daily updates!

This year I was kindly invited by IMZ to join some highly contrasting personalities to discuss opportunities Video on Demand and Social Networks are offering to the Classical Music producers and artists. In this year's panel (left to right): Thomas Hieber (Legal specialist -Unitel), me, Chris Hunt (content owner - ClassicalTV.com), Silvia Santangelo Jura (expert Social Media - Globalista), Urban Lasson (former buyer from Swedish Television).

There was an impressive introduction on the challenges of Social Media for Classical Music artists given by the The Globalista boss, the Brasilian Silvia Santangelo Jura. You can see one of her sites on worldmusic.

We had a tough discussion with some 150 music producers and I drew the conclusion that if artists, artist managers, classical music producers, orchestras et al do not soon jump into social media, vod and other challenges, they will surely miss this train.

I promised to share my presentation with some of my colleagues: so here it is! Hope you enjoy!
