For orchestras, ensembles, soloists, festivals, concert halls and cultural initiatives
We record your concert in picture and sound, clear the rights, release it worldwide and show you who watched it. One partner for all of it, in Berlin since 1992.
In September 2026 we followed the German Youth Symphony Orchestra (Bundesjugendorchester) of the Deutscher Musikrat on tour in Georgia: Germany's finest young musicians aged 12 to 19, chosen by audition. Filmed on 1 and 2 September, finished four weeks later, fully pre-financed by Cugate. A film about the German Youth Jazz Orchestra (Bundesjazzorchester) in Armenia is in progress.
Example: cooperation with the Deutscher Musikrat (German Music Council)
Several cameras, separate audio tracks. The sound is remixed until the film sounds like the hall.
Agreements with soloists, conductor, orchestra, venue and publisher. Without them no film may be shown.
Worldwide, with correct details of work, composer and performers, so people can find the recording.
An impact report shows how many people watched, where and for how long. For funders and sponsors.
Film crew, sound studio, distributor, social media and rights: usually five companies, with us one contract.
Your film launches on channels that already reach hundreds of thousands of classical and jazz listeners.
Audio fingerprint EP1684263B1 (2010) and digital watermark EP1684265B1 (2008), trademark Cugate Virtual Barcode (DPMA 30 2023 008 078). We find copies of your recording.
On the TV our technology recognises the piece that is playing and shows a QR code to your next concerts.
For ensembles, associations and venues that want to see first what we can do.
We talk about further cooperation only once you have seen the result.
For festivals, ensembles and soloists whose repertoire finds an international audience.
Whether a project qualifies, we tell you after the first conversation.
Broadcast-ready concert films with cleared rights, full length or shortened, with remixed sound. Classical music, jazz and music from Georgia, Cuba and Mexico that is rarely seen on European screens. Choose from the programme catalogue.
One conversation, by video if you like. Then we propose a test run to you.
