Unfortunately you can only use this on iphone’s which have been “jailbroken”. This was a bit of a scary word for me at first because it sounded so technical! But really its very simple, when you jailbreak or unlock an iPhone (this works on all models, including the new iPhone 4 which is what I have) you are altering the default software technology to allow apps with different features to be added. This means that apps can be downloaded even if they are not within the Apple app store. There are some very nice apps which are not listed within the iTunes store for some reason, I’m not sure why, and this one is one of them. I found out that my iPhone can be unlocked after doing a search for an  iphone 4 unlock (my iphone is a 4). There were a few good looking sites to download the software from, but I went with this one in the end. The software was quite easy to run, and there were step by step instructions as it ran, even I could follow!

So there you have it. If I can do it, so can anyone, no matter what technical ability. If you want to ask me about this app or the jailbreaking part, then just ask away in the comments or on the contact page.

As usual, you will be able to get copies of the DVD version of the concert, but its just not the same as being there in person, the audio quality, no matter how much quality goes into the recording can never really capture the stunning tones that the highly sophisticated ear can when enjoying music live (how it should be). So take it from us – don’t miss out.

If cost is an issue for you, look into the membership option the orchestra provides. Designed for the casual or more serious classical music fan, these memberships are exclusive, and start very low at around £25 per person. Definitely something to look into if you plan on going to multiple concerts throughout the year.
