Virtuosos but connected!

The musician on Social Networks:

he tweets, posts selfies and photos of rehearsals on Instagram, announces his concerts on Facebook. The classical musician is more and more active on social networks.

A new image for classical music that is not associated with social networks that refer to a teenage culture.

However, creating an official Facebook page is a necessary step in the communication of a soloist or an ensemble and sharing his daily life as a musician on Instagram seduces!

I have many examples to give you !

Tenor Roberto Alagna declares "to establish a privileged relationship with his audience thanks to social networks".

The tenor Placido Domingo posts daily on his networks and shares his life as an opera singer with his community: trying on costumes, backstages, Italian vacations... His fans thus discover the real life of this artist.

Social networks prevent the isolation of artists

Pianist Béatrice Rana believes that social networks are very important in the life of a soloist. Indeed, she travels a lot and it is a way to not feel alone and to keep a connection with her audience. According to her, Facebook and Twitter are the tools of official and factual communication while Instagram is her "private diary", a way of showing that she is human and that she doesn't spend her whole life behind her piano.

Even Daniel Barenboim 74 years old, post on Instagram. His account brings together 23,000 subscribers who like photos of the maestro in the middle of a makeup session.

The soloists are unanimous: social networks allow them to share their daily life on tour between airports and hotel rooms.

Cellist Hilary Hahn has chosen to post on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter by letting her violin case speak! @HilaryHanhViolinCase therefore tells the musician's daily life in pictures.

Social networks allow more communication on classical music.

Social networks can allow the uninitiated to access classical music and make them want to go to a concert.

Be careful not to over-communicate, you have to leave some air to the public !
