LiveNote Nights is funded in part by the generous support of the Raynier Institute & Foundation.

With LiveNote you can:

  • Follow along during the performance with real-time program notes including text and translations for vocal works.
  • Watch the slides of information automatically advance with the music on your phone's screen during the concert.
  • Enjoy key highlights, engaging details, and images relating to the composition.
  • Access a musical glossary, a digital version of the traditional program notes, and information about The Philadelphia Orchestra.
  • Adjust the font size and brightness for optimal viewing during a performance in Verizon Hall.

A critical feature of LiveNote is that it has been developed to have minimal impact on concertgoers in the hall and thoroughly tested in rehearsals and postlude performances. The application is designed with grey text on a black background specifically to minimize light and disruption. The content is custom designed for each piece to optimize the experience of hearing the work without distraction. It can be used throughout Verizon Hall, and its use is optional. LiveNote will be a companion to Playbill, which will continue to be distributed at performances when LiveNote is available.
