Program notes
“Being able to absorb a concert is a wonderful experience and when I understand the background to the composition of a piece of music and how it fits in historically, it becomes a far richer occasion. Good program notes not only inform a performance, they can also become a great momento.”
Mary Borland, Sydney Symphony concert goer.
Symphony Services International’s extensive selection of high quality program notes ranges from well-loved classics to popular gems written yesterday.
Our program note database lists the range of our up-to-date notes available for reprinting at a cost-effective price. Notes can be supplied at various lengths for reprinting.
The service includes the management of a database of around 3,500 program notes, the commissioning and/or writing of new notes, editing of existing notes as well as maintenance of many of the Members’ archival program materials.
Symphony Services International maintains a relationship with top music writers, regularly commissioning notes about repertoire, both popular and rarely performed. Learn more about our writers from our Writers Hub – link.
We have over 3,500 notes available for reprint, with significant discounts for Associates (25%) and Subscribers (20%). Translation into other languages may also be provided by negotiation.
In 2010, Symphony Services International began commissioning surtitles which can be screened at English-language orchestral concerts.
Surtitles for orchestral works with a vocal component are available for hire at a cost effective rate. For details please contact the Audience Development Manager, Gordon Williams.
Developed to help protect the hearing of orchestral musicians, Goodear significantly reduces decibel noise for musicians. It is used by professional, youth and community orchestras, schools and bands around the world.
It has a padded headpiece, a robust tripod stand and is height adjustable. The design provides clear forward and sideways sight-lines while ensuring maximum noise-reduction. Find out more about Goodear.
