History[]

After filming and broadcast the Verbier Festival in 2007, the medici.tv video platform was officially launched on 1 May 2008 with 200 programs available online.[2] This launch is accompanied by several live events – the concert of the New York Philharmonic, the classical music festival in Aspen and the Opera Festival in Aix-en-Provence – before the broadcast of the Verbier Festival, 2008.

In 2009, medici.tv won the 2008 Midem Classical Awards Internet Award.

In 2013, the medici.tv website recorded 1.5 million unique visitors. The same year, during the Verbier Festival concerts' livestream, the platform reached 750,000 connections from 177 countries.

At the end of 2014, medici.tv started broadcasting from Carnegie Hall. Four classical music concerts were streamed live from this legendary concert hall. This marked the first time that Carnegie Hall concerts were filmed and broadcast on the internet, live and on replay.
