This project is part of the Digital R&D Fund for Arts and Culture support by Arts Council England (ACE), Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and NESTA.

Our friends at the Aurora Orchestra will be performing a concert, Love Song for the City, at the Roundhouse, for the Reverb Festival. This will be filmed and streamed live across the web, using Videojuicer’s technology.

You can tune in to watch on the venue website, the orchestra’s website, Guardian.co.uk, and Facebook, as well as being shown live on cinema screens in two venues in the north east of England, Gala Theatre, Durham and Maltings Theatre, Berwick. Alnwick Playhouse will show the concert in full in April on their cinema screen. Take a look at dero.videojuicer.com for more details of all the concerts and venues.

We’re using the Videojuicer Platform to help measure and build our audience for this and upcoming events. From working on the Mozart Requiem stream in December, we know there is an audience for this type of content. Almost 15,000 people watched the concert and we had an average viewing time of 98% meaning almost everyone watched the whole performance from start to finish. With a little more marketing and social media buzz, and of course, an exciting concert from an exceptional orchestra, we hope to build on these figures this weekend!

As well as the player statistics we gather as standard, we will have dedicated research partners from Fusion Analytics and Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge. They will be surveying at the concert venue, on the live stream, and at the simulcast venues in Durham and Berwick. With this information and some in depth analysis, we hope to be able learn more about our audience and their expectations in the various locations.

We have been able to wrap this live performance with ...]]> Today we are filming the Aurora Orchestra performing Mozart’s Requiem with Kings College Choir at Kings Place in London. This will be appearing live on The Guardian website. Which is especially good as it’s sold out for both of it’s performances this evening (www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on-book-tickets/music/mozarts-requiem-2)

It’s really pleasing to use our technology with such prestigious groups. We have been able to wrap this live performance with pre-recorded advertisements as well. We like integrating live and pre-recorded – it gives great results for businesses involved.

UPDATE

If you missed the live stream that was hosted here on Monday 19th, then you can head over to the Guardian website to check out the recording, which will be available until Boxing Day.
