Concert & Recital Video That Sounds as Good as It Looks
Multi-camera videography with broadcast-quality 32-bit depth audio, built for the musicians and ensembles who deserve more than a phone in the back of the hall. Solo recitals, chamber music, string quartets, large ensemble concerts, and festival recordings.
Concert and recital video recording is a specialty, not a side service. The difference between a usable recording and a memorable one comes down to three things: where the cameras live, how the audio is captured, and how tightly the edit syncs picture to sound. We run multi-camera setups for visual variety, capture on-location audio at 32-bit depth (the standard used by top professionals), and deliver 4K video color-graded for the feel of the hall. The result is documentation and promotion material worthy of the performance itself, ready for grant applications, audition reels, social clips, festival submissions, and long-term legacy archives.
Why Organizations Choose Us
Broadcast-Quality Audio, Captured On Location
32-bit float depth recording means no clipping on forte passages and full detail on the quietest pianissimo. We place microphones for the hall, not the room, and deliver mastered audio that stands on its own alongside the video.
Multi-Camera Coverage for Real Performance Context
Wide hall establishing shots, intimate close-ups on soloists, and ensemble reaction cutaways. The edit follows the music, not a rigid template, so the final video reads like a performance rather than a recording.
4K Video with Cinematic Color
Concert halls have tricky mixed lighting. We color-grade every project to preserve the atmosphere of the hall and flatter musicians without looking artificial. Drone coverage is available for outdoor or festival-scale events.
Short-Form Content Built from the Full Performance
Every engagement can include vertical social cutdowns optimized for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. One recording becomes long-form archive plus a library of clips for ongoing promotion.
What’s Included
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of performances do you record?
Solo recitals, chamber music of every configuration (duo, trio, quartet, quintet), larger ensembles, full orchestra, choral concerts, and music festivals. We have experience with classical, contemporary classical, jazz, and crossover programming.
Do you record in specific St. Louis venues?
We have worked in Washington University's 560 Music Center Concert Hall, the Webster University Community Music School Concert Hall, Salem Methodist Church, Webster First Presbyterian Church, Steinway Piano Gallery, and Piper Palm House. If you are performing somewhere new, we do a pre-visit to map camera and microphone placement.
What is 32-bit depth audio and why does it matter?
32-bit float is the audio capture standard used by top professional recording engineers. It captures the full dynamic range of acoustic performance without the clipping and compression that ruin cheaper recordings. On a forte section or a sudden attack, the recording remains clean and recoverable in post.
Do you travel outside St. Louis?
Yes. We travel across the Midwest regularly and take projects further for the right program. Travel is quoted based on distance, number of shoot days, and equipment requirements.
Can you edit audition tapes or grant-application excerpts?
Absolutely. We pull specific excerpts, tighten transitions, and format to match the requirements of common conservatory, festival, and grant submissions. Clear edits that showcase exactly what an adjudicator needs to hear.
How long until we receive the final video?
Typical turnaround is two to four weeks depending on scope. Rush turnaround is available for auditions and time-sensitive submissions. Short-form social content can often be delivered within a week of the performance.
