Book Your Performance For Teachers, Students, Music and Performing Arts Schools, Studios, Festivals, Competitions, Exams Perform on professional Virtual Stage specifically designed for presentation of Performing Arts Participate in our Recitals for Students Book Virtual Concert Hall for your Event Reach audience and promote your Concert, Studio, School, Program, through a beautifully designed LIVE Internet TV Broadcast What is the Sound Espressivo Experience program? SEE is designed with a purpose to provide opportunities for teachers and students to gain performance experience on a virtual stage, without the pressure of competing. Can be an alternative or an addition to the usual students' recitals. We believe this format can be beneficial beyond COVID: Many teachers accumulated remote students and this form of teaching is now here to stay. Those students need performance opportunities just as much as those who take lessons in person Even a physical students' recital can benefit from broadcasting, because students' family members and friends don't always live in the same town, they can watch it live It's a faster and in many cases cheaper alternative to recording, editing, compiling a school's or studio's recital, and uploading it on youtube It provides a recording which can be edited for future applications to competitions, programs, scholarships, etc Who is it for? All performing arts students, teachers, owners of Studios/schools/summer programs/camps/competitions. Suitable for students and educators of all performing arts: music, dance, theater, etc Can accommodate individual performers and groups of any size. Fees are calculated per performance time on the virtual stage, regardless of the group’s size. What do I get? Complete instructional packet including video tutorials which provides most up-to-date information about best equipment options and practices for streaming and Internet TV broadcasting of a performance. Based on VCHS’ experience of over 600 live broadcasts for top international performing artists, orchestras, opera companies, conservatories.
