Our story
Imagine stepping into a world where you aren’t just seen, but felt deeply across communities and beyond. Where your work transcends boundaries and resonates with millions. This isn't just a dream—it's a reality with Gold Sound Media.
Picture this: the Cliburn's staggering 25 million webcast views and the meteoric rise of Yunchan Lim to global fame. That was us, Gold Sound Media, orchestrating social media behind the scenes.
Envision composer Jessie Montgomery as she ascended to the pinnacle of musical achievement, clinching a Grammy Award for her spellbinding work on Awadagin Pratt’s album, STILLPOINT. Our expertise played a pivotal role in that triumph.
Imagine the award-winning show Living the Classical Life, hosted by the charismatic Zsolt Bognár, captivating audiences worldwide and amassing millions of views. Yes, that was our magic at work.
And through the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic, when the world stood still, and the stages were dark, we ensured the spotlight never dimmed on artists like the celebrated conductor Nicholas McGegan. Despite the odds, we amplified his presence while he led The Cleveland Orchestra and the Dallas Symphony, and skyrocketed his social media following by a staggering 284%.
At Gold Sound Media, we're not just about making noise; we're about crafting stories through different mediums that ripple throughout the performing arts industry and beyond.
You have the power to inspire, to move, to transform. Let's amplify that power together. Reach out to Gold Sound Media today, and let's create a legacy that resonates with every soul, in every corner of the world. Make your mark with us.
