“When in July 2007, the Verbier Festival asked us to film nearly all of that year’s concerts, medici.tv wasn’t born and words like “streaming” and “webcast” hadn’t yet made their way into the general public’s vocabulary… But the opportunity was too great to miss. We quickly improvised a streaming station in an RV… and we approached musicians with a wild idea: sharing their talents with music lovers around the world via the Internet! Inspired by our first taste of success, we decided to create medici.tv on May 1st, 2008.”
—Hervé Boissière, founder and executive director of medici.tv.
With passion and conviction, the small upstart in the RV grew into an international team based in Paris.
Today, medici.tv is a world-leading platform for classical music!
Today, music lovers tune in from 190 countries in over 3,000 cities.
