At Symphonova® , we’re reimagining the future of symphonic performance and practice. As musicians, we integrate the cutting-edge technologies we develop into our performances and recordings, and also make these advancements available to other musicians.
Our flagship innovation, the Symphonova instrument, combines sophisticated hardware and software to faithfully emulate the sound and expressive capabilities of a full symphony orchestra. Led by a conductor, either solo or alongside a small group of musicians, the Symphonova empowers conductors with nuanced control over the timing and expression of virtual instruments, unlocking new possibilities for composing, rehearsing and performing orchestral music.
Key Benefits:
Developed and refined through years of performances and recordings, the Symphonova is not just a technological marvel – it’s a solution to many challenges encountered by all those involved in composing, rehearsing and performing orchestral music. We believe that by bridging the gap between traditional orchestral practice and cutting-edge technology, we can elevate the art of orchestral music to new heights.
Join the Symphonova Community: We’re actively seeking collaborations with conductors and composers for our ongoing beta testing program. If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of orchestral music, we invite you to connect with us and explore the possibilities of Symphonova™.
We create orchestral experiences our audiences can’t find anywhere else, performing new works envisioned for Symphonova’s unique capabilities, and promoting high quality but forgotten repertoire.
Symphonova specialises in making high quality orchestral recordings of concert repertoire and for media.
The MicroSymphonova conducting system empowers conductors with a revolutionary tool to rehearse the most complex scores.
Symphonova technologies include two hardware technologies for sound quality and two software for creating musical expression. A synergistic combination of these enabling technologies endow Symphonova’s conductor and musicians with power to control and shape in real-time the authentic sound and musical expression of a full-sized Symphony orchestra. Depending on the size of the venue and the musical context, we use either the MicroSymphonova or the Symphonova Orchestra.

Goran Tchubrilo is fascinated by Symphonova’s unique concept of integrating musicians with the most recent developments in music technology, as well as by the new opportunities that open-up to composers, performers, and in the concert arena in general. He was trained as a composer at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in Austria. In 2005 he started his training in sample based music production, with Vienna Symphonic Library as his main (but not only) area of interest.
