Welcome To

Experience the Unexplored

Symphonova™ is a pioneering force at the forefront of the current revolution in music creation.

Using technologies we develop, we inspire audiences with orchestral works they can’t experience anywhere else, enable composers to free their imagination and empower conductors with new tools for working with complex scores. 

FOR AUDIENCES:

We create orchestral experiences our audiences can’t find anywhere else, performing new works envisioned for Symphonova’s unique capabilities, and promoting high quality but forgotten repertoire.

FOR CONDUCTORS:

The MicroSymphonova

The MicroSymphonova conducting system empowers conductors with a revolutionary tool to rehearse the most complex scores. 

Symphonova Technology

Symphonova technologies include two hardware technologies for sound quality and two software for creating musical expression. A synergistic combination of these enabling technologies endow Symphonova’s conductor and musicians with power to control and shape in real-time the authentic sound and musical expression of a full-sized Symphony orchestra. Depending on the size of the venue and the musical context, we use either the MicroSymphonova or the Symphonova Orchestra.
