SUBSCRIPTIONS

for orchestras


Introducing a FLAT-RATE SUBSCRIPTION FEE for ORCHESTRAS to license the award-winning, internationally renowned Visual Listening Guide!

View of the audience looking at the Visual Listening Guide before a Toronto Symphony Orchestra concert at Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto, Canada.

For $1,200 USD per orchestra season, you get:

  • The license to distribute ANY THREE Visual Listening Guides in the CURRENT CATALOGUE in print and / or secured digital formats to your audiences, each for a one-month period around and during concert weeks.

  • Print-ready PDFs of the Visual Listening Guide, plus accompanying “How to Read” instructions, in your choice of either Letter- or A4-size pages.

  • An engaged audience excited to listen to and deepen their understanding of orchestral music!

Why subscribe?

  • Although a proven success with audiences, the Visual Listening Guide, based on user experience, is most effective for engagement as concert goers become familiar with it through regular exposure. A total of three Guides distributed per concert season provides this consistency, while maintaining affordability and a relatively low-key commitment.

  • A subscription enables marketing teams to plan ahead for the publicizing and distribution of the Visual Listening Guides as they wish.

  • By enhancing already existing engagement practices, the Visual Listening Guide, as an innovative educational tool for use in and outside the concert hall, helps orchestras build their audiences in their appreciation for symphonic music.

Terms and conditions:

  • The subscription licensing fee applies to Visual Listening Guides in the catalogue, AS IS. Customizations and modifications, such as translations into another language, resizing, etc., are possible but will be subject to additional fees (see below).

  • Orchestras are responsible for distributing the Visual Listening Guides at their own expense and effort, including paper and printing costs. Digital versions must be distributed via a secure method (e.g. password protected link to download).

  • The distribution period for a Visual Listening Guide is limited to one month but orchestras can determine how to organize this period. (One suggested schedule is to provide the Guide to concert attendees as a digital download for one week prior to a concert, then, in print for in-concert use (at the patron’s discretion), and finally, digitally again for two weeks post-concert.)
