Give Your Next Concert a Cinematic "WOW" Factor
Without the Tech Headache!
live orchestra + backing tracks — controlled by the conductor
CueConductor Pro app walkthrough using "Luminescence"
Live orchestra.
Cinematic impact.
Delight your audiences with recognizable, beloved classical themes infused with modern cinematic color and impact using traditional orchestral forces plus curated non-orchestral elements, performed live with a PA system and a simple playback setup.
The audiences really enjoyed the hybrid program and thought it was very innovative. Funny how several people were wondering if the orchestra was singing since they obviously didn't see a choir but heard voices. I think the orchestra was a little unsure at first at the start of the rehearsals, but by the performance, many of them shared with me how unique it was and they thought it was a really cool program.
I'm so excited to do this program! Our students and the audience are going to love it. Your music is always a favorite.

F.A.Q.
Typically, the conductor will decide if he/she needs the click. Using the CueConductor app, the conductor can keep the orchestra and pre-recorded tracks together using synchronized audio and video streamers and pops during rehearsal and performances.
The conductor runs playback from the podium.
The conductor has full control of the balance using the CueConductor app from the podium.
Full score and parts (PDF or physical delivery), audio and video assets for playback with a simple smartphone or using the CueConductor app for iPhone or iPad, and a tech pack for each piece.
Only a powerful enough PA system that can balance with the orchestra is needed. No other sound support is necessary as the balance is controlled from the podium by the conductor. If the PA system is moveable (on speaker stands, etc.), it can be placed on stage amidst or behind the orchestra so the orchestra and conductor can hear it. If it is not moveable, sometimes some on-stage monitors can be helpful so the orchestra can hear the pre-recorded tracks. The conductor can use an in-ear monitor (earbud) to hear the click if needed; however, using the CueConductor app, the conductor can see a synchronized video with measure counter, streamers, and pops to keep everything perfectly together.
