RPO launches new app

Attention RPO fans with smartphones and tablets -- there’s a new app in town. A couple weeks ago, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra launched a free app that allows users to view the RPO concert calendar, purchase tickets, watch videos, read conductor and musician bios, access RPO social media feeds and get directions and parking information. Patrons can also sign up to receive notifications about special offers and upcoming concerts.

The app was created as part of the RPO's mission to find alternative ways to seamlessly connect the community with the orchestra, guest artists, and all that the RPO has to offer. While the app provides many of the same services as the RPO website, the app's simple interface is optimized for viewing on mobile devices, a must-have for all modern organizations. After downloading the app, users will see a slideshow of upcoming concerts with touch screen options to purchase tickets and for more info. For orchestra bios, social media feeds and other information, users can select from the touch screen options at the bottom of the screen.

The app was created using InstantEncore, a leading provider of web and mobile technology for the performing arts. Other clients include Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony. 

To download the free app, search "Rochester Philharmonic" at the iTunes app store for Apple devices and at Google Play for Androids. And, don't forget to post a review after you check it out. We look forward to your feedback so we can continue to improve!
