Symphony.live acquired by Acoustics Space in global classical streaming deal
South Korean acoustic engineering company, Acoustics Space has bought Symphony.live, a high quality classical performance streaming service.
Classical and symphonic music streaming platform Symphony.live has been acquired by South Korean acoustic engineering and audiovisual company Acoustics Space. The acquisition combines Symphony.live’s global streaming platform with Acoustics Space’s technical background in high-quality audio and immersive visual experiences.
Symphony.live launched in 2022 and focuses on streaming classical and orchestral performances. Alongside live concerts, the platform also offers interviews and behind-the-scenes content, giving audiences access to performances and insight from orchestras and musicians around the world.
Acoustics Space is based in South Korea and works in acoustic engineering and premium audiovisual environments. Its business centres on high-resolution sound, immersive visuals, and technical systems designed to recreate live performance experiences as accurately as possible.
Following the acquisition, the two companies say they will work together to improve how classical music is recorded, delivered, and experienced digitally.
As Digital Music News points out, Symphony.live currently works with a number of major orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. As part of Acoustics Space, the platform plans to enhance its audio and video quality, supported by additional engineering resources and research and development.
The companies say the integration will also support orchestras, concert halls, broadcasters, and cultural institutions by giving them better tools to distribute performances with high levels of clarity and precision. The aim is to improve production standards while maintaining the detail and balance required for classical music.
In addition to orchestral performances, Symphony.live plans to expand its content offering. Future releases are expected to include opera, ballet, festivals, and music documentaries, broadening the range of classical content available on the platform.
Symphony.live co-CEOs Jeroen van Egmond and Maarten Walraven explained, “By becoming part of Acoustics Space, Symphony.live enters a new chapter where technical innovation and artistic excellence intersect. This partnership will allow us to push the boundaries of digital music experiences and to serve our partners with the highest production and delivery standards.”
