The right audience, not the biggest one
Your concert appears in the feed and in “Discover” of a classical music community, and you can advertise it by instrument, role, city or country.
For musicians, ensembles and institutions
Your concert, in front of people who understand what you play
Classicspark is the classical music network. Stream your concert live with its own page, its registrations and its replay, without an automated detector getting in the way of your performance.
- No automated copyright detector
- 0% commission on your tickets
Why here
What a free channel does not give you
Streaming is easy and free in many places. The hard part is being seen by the people who matter, having nobody mute your performance, and ending up with more than a number.
No robot mutes your Bach here
Classicspark runs no automated copyright detector over your performance. Claims are handled by named people, like everything else in the community.
You keep the list of who came
Registrations are people with a profile, country and instrument. You can write to them, and they come back to your next concert because they follow you.
A real concert page
Programme, performers linked to their profiles, notes, artwork and the time in each viewer’s zone, on a public page anyone can open without an account.
When it ends, what shows is yours
After your concert, viewers see your profile and your upcoming events. Nobody puts somebody else’s video next to it.
No commission on your box office
Classicspark never touches the money from your tickets or donations. What you charge is yours in full.

Comparison
Classicspark versus streaming for free
We do not compete on reach: YouTube reaches the whole world and every television, and you will not get that here. The difference is who sees you, what happens to your performance, and what you are left with afterwards.
| Classicspark | YouTube Live | Twitch | Facebook / Instagram | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who the audience is | Classical musicians and institutions | The whole internet | Mostly video games | Your contacts |
| Requirements to stream | An account and an event | Verified channel, live access enabled (up to 24 h) and 50 subscribers from mobile | An account | An account |
| Automated copyright detector | None | Content ID | Your own live performance is covered; recorded music is not | Automated detection, with documented cases on public-domain works |
| You know who came | Yes: registrations with a profile | No, anonymous metrics | No | Partly |
| Others are recommended when it ends | No: your profile is shown | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Commission on your tickets | 0%: we never touch that money | Only with 500 or 1,000 subscribers | The platform’s subscriptions and bits | Not applicable |
| Massive reach and television apps | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
If what you want is the largest possible audience, YouTube wins and there is no argument. That is why the plan is to let you stream here and mirror to your channel at the same time.
“—” means it does not apply or we could not verify it. Checked in September 2026 on each service’s official pages. Their requirements and terms may change.

How it works
From creating the event to the replay
-
1
Create the event
Add the date, programme, performers and artwork, and choose to broadcast with Classicspark.
-
2
Run the test broadcast
With the address and key we give you, connect your encoder and check it before the day. There is a tutorial.
-
3
Share your page
The event page opens without an account, in six languages. Everyone registered gets a reminder.
-
4
Go live
At the time, you open the live stream and your audience watches it on the concert page itself.
-
5
Leave the replay
The recording stays available to registered viewers for a few days, and you see how many minutes were served.
Price
What broadcasting here costs
Free during the launch
While the launch lasts, broadcasting costs nothing. When charging starts it will be a price per event broadcast, published before anything is charged.
You need an encoder such as OBS: the broadcast does not come from the browser. It is free, and there is a tutorial.
Create your eventFrequently asked questions
Do I need special equipment?
A camera or an audio interface and a free encoder such as OBS. The broadcast does not come from the browser: we give you the address and the key, and there is a step-by-step tutorial.
Can I charge for tickets?
You can charge on your own, however you agree with your audience. Classicspark does not sell tickets or touch that money, so it takes no percentage either.
Can I also stream to YouTube?
Not yet, and it is in the plan. When it arrives, the live stream will live here with its page and its registrations, and the mirror will go to your channel. An honest warning: that copy will go through Content ID, because it is your channel.
What if my connection drops?
If the signal drops, it reconnects and the stream continues. That is why the test broadcast the day before is worth it: that is when problems appear without an audience watching.
Is the concert recorded?
Yes. The recording stays available to registered viewers for a few days after the concert, and then it stops being visible.
Who can watch the live stream?
You choose when you create the event: open to anyone, registered viewers only, or invited people only.
Your next concert, with an audience that knows what it is hearing
Create the event, test the broadcast and share your page. The rest is already in place.
