Classical Music Web community Dilettante has entered into the second phase of its development, introducing new ticketing, media and retail partners, video tutorials, a new personalized homepage, Dilettante Radio, a discussion forum and Dilettante Guru, a site-wide search tool.
By partnering with ClassicTic and TicketSwitch, users can purchase tickets directly to classical music events. A host of performing organizations also list their concert schedules on the site.
Reviews from specialist publications such as Gramophone, La Scena Musicale and Fanfare are syndicated alongside member reviews on the site, while partnerships with iTunes, ArkivMusic, Amazon and DG Web Shop give users members options to purchase the music online.
It is free to register, upload music to and stream music on Dilettante. Music can only be uploaded by people who have the rights to do so, and users can choose the level of interaction this music has with the Dilettante community. Dilettante Radio streams random tracks uploaded by members, however it is also possible to create individual playlists.
London-based Dilettante was launched in January 2008 and now claims to have over 15,000 unique visitors each month from more than 100 countries.
