We are Classical

We pioneered Primephonic as the Classical Collective, a digital platform where you can find every classical music piece ever recorded. While we were going at lengths explaining our digital ambition to many other labels, Steve Long, Director of Signum Records, was the first independent label who came to us and said ‘we want to be part of it’. 

On Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at Lincoln Ristorante in New York City, Primephonic, a new streaming service dedicated to classical music, hosted a panel focused on classical music in the digital age.

One of the downsides of the under-representation of classical music in existing streaming services, is that we have very limited exposure to datasets consisting purely of classical music usage. We’re only able to access data on an aggregate level, and since classical music streaming represents about 1% of the streaming market, any meaningful insights we could’ve gained from the peculiarities of classical music lovers, are quickly pushed to oblivion by the more popular genres.
