SYNTHONY

Our Story

Where electronic meets orchestral sound

Synthony began with a simple idea: to elevate the experience of live electronic music through the power of a full orchestra. By combining the precision of classical instruments with the dynamic energy of electronic beats, Synthony offers a musical experience unlike any other. It bridges two worlds, appealing to both electronic music fans and classical music lovers alike.

Since its inception, Synthony has redefined the live music scene, continuously evolving and expanding its reach across global stages. With each performance, it brings together the best of both genres, creating a unique atmosphere that immerses audiences in a fusion of sound and spectacle.

Redefining live music experiences

Duco Events has established itself as a leader in creating standout live events, with Synthony as one of its most notable projects. Synthony blends electronic music with orchestral performances, offering a fresh take on how these genres can coexist in a live setting. Through thoughtful production and a commitment to quality, Duco Events continues to deliver memorable experiences that resonate with a wide range of audiences.

TIMELINE

How it all started

It all started in July 2015 with a simple “what if?” — what if you mashed up epic dance anthems with a full orchestra? After watching a BBC Proms show, pilot David Elmsly and DJ Erika Amoore had an idea they couldn’t shake. What began as a passion project quickly snowballed into a global phenomenon.
