The Akron Symphony Orchestra has released a mobile app in time for the 2017-18 performance season.

The free app, available for download in the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices, includes numerous features that allow users to:

• Discover upcoming Akron Symphony performances and events
• View videos of our musicians and guest performers
• Connect to Akron Symphony’s Facebook and Twitter accounts
• Enrich the concert experience the night of a performance through the At the Venue feature, which allows users to check in at the event via social media, receive exclusive content, and participate in a real-time feed of social media posts the night of the concert

The mobile app offers push notifications that allow users to select the information they want to receive, allowing them to be the first to see relevant news or special offers.

“The Akron Symphony mobile app will allow users to stay connected to their orchestra no matter where they travel,” said Director of Marketing Thomas Moore. “The ability to receive the news that they want, and easily share the concert experience while they are at a performance, will make this a must-have for the entire Symphony community.”

The app is powered by InstantEncore, the leading provider of mobile solutions to performing arts organizations around the world.

“We are pleased to partner with the Akron Symphony to help them launch a mobile app,” said Chris Montgomery, CEO of InstantEncore. “They really understand how mobile can help enhance the audience’s experience as well as create a communication channel between the Symphony and its audience members.”

The Akron Symphony mobile app is now available for free download in the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices.
