World Federation of International Music Competitions and Idagio Announce Principal Partnership
The World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) and IDAGIO have signed a principal partnership to support and broadcast the future of classical music.
Till Janczukowicz (Founder and CEO of IDAGIO) and Benjamin Woodroffe (Secretary General of the WFIMC) realised the partnership at the Berlin HQ of IDAGIO after commencing discussions in 2017. Following a presentation by Mr Janczukowicz to the recent WFIMC General Assembly, the WFIMC is proud to formally recognise IDAGIO as its Official Audio Streaming Partner .
"This partnership will allow the WFIMC to share the music and personalities of the laureates of our Member Competitions. IDAGIO’s commitment to classical music and excellence matches our own perfectly and there is a vast audience of young musicians that will enjoy using the IDAGIO platform to hear one another. The timing and shared values are right for us to jointly provide content and to reach IDAGIO’s growing audience."
Benjamin Woodroffe , Secretary General, WFIMC
"From orchestra players, teachers and laureates to the Pollinis and Ageriches of tomorrow: future musicians are Digital Natives. Their challenges differ from those of the past. They need digital tools to share music, inspire fans and reach new audiences. A challenge and also a huge opportunity. IDAGIO is proud to provide competitions and laureates with a platform to reach audiences around the globe faster and easier than ever."
