How it all started
Back in 2007, when the Verbier Festival offered us the chance to film nearly all of that year's concerts, medici.tv hadn’t yet been born, and words like “streaming” and “webcast” weren’t part of our everyday vocabulary… But the opportunity was too good to pass up.
In the space of a few weeks, we managed to construct a streaming station inside a camper van—and we approached musicians with a wild idea: sharing their talents online with music lovers all around the world! Inspired by our first taste of success, we decided to keep the adventure going and officially created medici on May 1, 2008.
