The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London is without a doubt one of the most instantly recognizable orchestras in the world, and the group is now showcasing its forward thinking by testing out a new orchestra app, dubbed EnCue by Octava, that is designed to immerse concert attendees into the live performance by enabling them to view program notes on their devices during performances.
Classical music is known for its highly complex modes and variants, many of which are very difficult to detect for people who aren't expert musicians, and the Encue by Octava app aims to bridge that gap by sending information about performed pieces to patron's devices.
The app will only be used by patrons in designated seating areas, a great way to let tech-savvy music lovers enjoy the new technology without interfering in the experience of traditionalists.
