Brooklyn Theatre integrates separate endeavours to facilitate and realise our dream of ‘Art inspired Music made Accessible’.
BROOKLYN THEATRE
We turned the sound off, became still. Tried to contemplate a world without beautiful music. People without beautiful music. And could not. Would not. So we imagined a theatre we may transport anyone to. Anyone, and one day everyone, in the whole wide world;- as long as they would authentically and inspirationally be connected with beautiful music.
Brooklyn Theatre’s voice sings to you from the most beautiful country, South Africa. We thrive to innovate and then present you with imaginative ways to access the art of music. Journey with us through our ‘theatre ’ to discover how we long to reach you.
COMPANY PROFILE
VISION
An integrated bouquet of endeavours held together by a golden thread of income generating sources, all contributing in turn, to the primary vision of promoting and ensuring the sruvival of Art inspired music.
BACKGROUND
Brooklyn Theatre, originally trading as 'Salon Music' has successfully been staging classical concerts, promoting classical music, creating work for classical musicians and recording all of 31 CD's since 1994.
We have become a household name in the 'lifestyle' and 'finer things in life' categories in Gauteng.
We created a reputation of personal care of our patrons and became, through our passion for stylish and accessible music, an amiable instrument to enhance the music experience of connoisseurs and casual listeners alike. This resulted in a considerable fan base of reliable supporters who have stood by us, come what may and have taken on a social responsibility to help classical music survive in SA. The number of these customers has grown steadily and now stands at approximately 52 000 music lovers.
We believe the beauty of Art Inspired Music is universal and aim to reach people everywhere through our authenticity and originality.
