Give Your Next Concert a Cinematic "WOW" Factor
Without the Tech Headache!
live orchestra + backing tracks — controlled by the conductor
Cinematic Hybrid Orchestra Series using CueConductor
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 — a measure counter, color-coded streamers, and punches — during rehearsal and performances.
The conductor runs playback from the podium.
The conductor has full control of the balance — with per-stem faders and mutes — using the CueConductor app from the podium.
CueConductor is free to download and runs on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Everything you need to perform a licensed Cinematic Hybrid title — playback, importing your cue package, browsing the catalog — is free. You purchase the music (score, parts, and tracks) per title.
Full score and parts (PDF or physical delivery), audio and video assets for playback in the CueConductor app for iPhone, iPad, or Mac, 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 scoring video with measure counter, streamers, and punches to keep everything perfectly together.
