The challenge
Serve concertgoers, musicians, archive researchers and masterclass applicants within one cultural institution’s website. Current programmes need immediate clarity; historical records need structured, searchable context.

THE PROJECT, IN CONTEXT
A digital stage for today. A searchable memory of the orchestra.
Bilingual website · Concert archive · Content & application management
The approach
Create distinct journeys for upcoming concerts and ticket vendors, musician profiles, historical programmes and masterclass applications. Support them with separate website, catalogue and masterclass administration, plus controls that protect edited content from later syncs.
The outcome
Audiences can discover concerts and continue to the appropriate ticket vendor. Researchers can explore programmes by performers, composers, venues and dates. The team can manage public content, archival records and applications through dedicated panels.

About the project
The public website for Vratsa Symphony Orchestra brings its concert programme, orchestra information, news and performance archive together.
It gives audiences a starting point for discovering events and finding ticket information, while presenting the institution’s work beyond the concert hall.

Masterclass applications
- A dedicated area presents dates, fees, programme, faculty, venue, accommodation, gallery, testimonials and FAQs.

CAPABILITIES
Three management areas
- Main administration manages events, Facebook posts, public documents and musicians, reviews pending musician submissions, runs syncs and exposes logs/integration settings.

- Masterclass administration manages course copy/media, reviews applications, records decisions/payment status and edits email templates.

Content sync and protected files
