Tanja Dorn, founder of Dorn Music, said: 

“For the first stream from California we are delighted to work with French guitarist Judicaël Perroy who is based in San Francisco. He has been celebrated internationally by press and audiences alike for his stunningly brilliant and intense playing. We launched QCHAMBERSTREAM.com in Hannover, Germany, in early April to great success. I am now greatly looking forward to the first concert from Los Angeles.” 

Bernhard Fleischer, leading producer of concert broadcasts, commented: 

“It has paid off to keep both the musical and the audio-visual quality as high as is possible, and we are seeing that viewer’s remain with us for a long period of time. The next stream from Los Angeles will showcase a completely different quality chamber, both visually and acoustically. We are proud and grateful our longstanding technology partner in the USA, Gravity Media, has welcomed us into their home in California for a fantastic performance with Judicaël Perroy. Paul Fenkart of BFMI USA will direct.” 

Marc Genin, Executive Vice President of Gravity Media in the USA, added: 

“Gravity Media is known for embracing new opportunities, exploiting new technologies and helping its clients launch new initiatives. Gravity Media has worked with BFMI for many years on performing arts broadcast projects that have involved such world renowned companies as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Ballet, and has built a reputation as a specialist in creating high end performance programs for the screen. We are delighted to join the qchamberstream.com initiative and look forward to welcoming Judicaël Perroy at our Production Center in California.” 

Gitarrist Judicaël Perroy said: 

“I am humbled and excited to be a part of QCHAMBERSTREAM.com in times in which musicians across the world are being impacted. This is a unique opportunity to share the art of the guitar with a wide audience around the world. Let’s use this time to put the current situation aside and look with hope to the future.”
