Virtual Circle NFT

We are delighted to share that Virtual Circle is the first live-streaming platform to offer NFTs with a classical music concert. Our NFT, which is available as part of a ticket bundle, launched with an innovative concert featuring Pekka Kuusisto and Norwegian Chamber Orchestra (concert 26 August, 19:00 BST) as a digitally signed album artwork of the album ​“First Light”. The concert features Nico Muhly’s composition Shrink and an interview with Pekka.

Virtual Circle is proud to work alongside our partners eMusicLive to be able to bring audiences the best online music experiences.

Our NFTs are accessible on the Ethereum sidechain Polygon proof-of-stake. This option supports NFTs with a minimal impact to the environment.

“Virtual Circle enters history as the first live-streaming platform to offer NFTs alongside classical concerts using a ticket bundle. The initiative opens new doors for collectors and musicians alike, shining a light on classical music on the NFT stage.”
