Created by Bloomberg Philanthropies, this free app connects users with curated content and guides to more than 760 museums, galleries, parks, gardens, and other venues located in more than 30 countries.
Live performances will always create a unique and intimate connection between performers and audience members. Embracing today’s technology, however, allows the Colburn School to introduce our programs, students, faculty, and guest artists to individuals near and far who want to experience the arts. Livestreaming welcomes audiences from around the world to many of our performances. Colburn’s YouTube channel allows viewers to watch past events at their convenience. Now, as a partner with Bloomberg Connects, we welcome even more visitors to virtually explore the world of the Colburn School.
Created by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the free app connects users with curated content and guides to more than 760 museums, galleries, parks, gardens, and other venues located in more than 30 countries. Millions of people from around the world use it to browse through text, video, and audio content of exhibits, collections, artwork, city landmarks, performances, and more. Plus, the technology has been designed with accessibility features, such as voiceover, captions, and audio transcripts.
As part of the Connects community, app users who venture to the Colburn School profile can read about the Music Academy, Conservatory of Music, Community School of Performing Arts, and Trudl Zipper Dance Institute. They can spend time on the “Performances” section to read about the Colburn Orchestra, Colburn Chamber Music Society as well as the Colburn Contemporary Ensemble or the Colburn Baroque Ensemble. They can click around to watch our students dance on stage and listen to highlights of select performances.
The app allows users to “Explore Our Spaces” and view the Grand and Olive buildings as well as enjoy various perspectives within our prestigious Zipper, Thayer, and Mayman performance halls. They can take an exclusive “Behind the Scenes” peek inside the Heifetz Studio, which is typically closed to the public. Also, experience a glimpse of campus life through a gallery of photos of students, faculty, and community members gathering in the courtyard or inside the Colburn Café, and even a photographic sampling of the Café’s mouth-watering menu items.
Bloomberg Connects also offers an opportunity to share news of the School’s community initiatives and explain how our supporters, through their generosity, provide the next generation of artists access to excellence in performing arts education.
“Being a partner with Bloomberg Connects matches Colburn’s commitment to bringing the world of performing arts to all who wish to enjoy the magical moments created on stage through music and dance,” said Jennifer Kallend, Colburn’s Vice President of Communications. “It enhances our reach, but more importantly, enhances people’s lives by sharing the arts without restriction.”
