“Best New App” - App Store

As seen in: BBC Music, Popular Science, The Boston Globe

“Playing with orchestral accompaniment was a luxury and felt surprisingly collaborative. … The sound quality was impressive. This app comes highly recommended”
- The Strad

HOW IT WORKS

- Connect a speaker (or use earbuds)
- Choose an instrument and some music
- Tap "play" and you'll see your part
- Start playing and a real orchestra surrounds you!

Play naturally. Whether you slow down or push ahead, Cadenza will understand your expression and fit the orchestra to you. Cadenza automatically turns pages for you, too.

PLAY GREAT MUSIC

Concertos, movie themes, music from Suzuki* Violin, Cello and Viola books 1-4, chamber music, and orchestral excerpts. Our music is recorded by real musicians, including the Stuttgart Symphony, Russian Philharmonic, Berklee alumni, and more.

TEACHERS AND STUDENTS LOVE IT

“My initial reaction was, ‘Wow. How is this possible?’ After that, it was ‘Where have you been all my life!’ I just find it incredible how, for instance, I can do as much rubato as I want and, somehow, the orchestra is able to just follow. That is remarkably useful when practicing or performing with the app.”
– Njioma G., Violin student

“I use Cadenza nearly every day in my studio. My students love it.”
– Kurt Sassmannshaus, Violin Faculty, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music

"It felt like I was playing in Carnegie Hall with an orchestra behind me!"
– Emma B., Violin student

“Get it! — It’s the game-changer we have been waiting for!”
– Veee1682
