Take a look at the numbers: in 2003-04, 129 biggest orchestras in Germany held 9,850 concerts. Fast forward to 2017-18, and that number skyrocketed to 15,078 concerts. And the prognosis for 2023 is even higher. With this increased demand comes intense pressure on concert organizers and orchestra managers, who often still rely on ancient processes to keep up. Classical music is a world steeped in tradition, where digital transformation moves slower than in other industries. But in reality, adopting digital solutions isn’t just an option anymore—it’s essential. Concert organizers and managers are juggling countless tasks that could be simplified and consolidated with the right tools. But those tools need to be built for them, with an understanding of their unique pressures and workflows. At Piumosso, we know this reality firsthand. We’re creating a solution that respects classical music’s legacy while lightening the workload for today’s managers and organizers. Our goal is simple: make it easier to handle the rising demand without compromising the quality or essence of what makes classical music so enduring. The future of classical music deserves the best of both worlds—deep tradition and smart technology. We are inviting people to not wait until the breaking point before adopting digital solutions. If you’re ready to help bring classical music management into the future, we’d love to connect. #ClassicalMusic #DigitalTransformation #Piumosso #ConcertManagement #OrchestraLife #MusicTech
