Classical Lounge was the first social networking site designed solely for classical music lovers. Built to expand the classical music community, the site and its membership are evidence to a modern, tech-savvy fan base that contradicts the stereotype of the "old and stuffy" classical music audience.2

The story

Classical Lounge was founded in August 2006 by the members of the Miro Quartet, along with Jason Gindele and Jerry Gindele. Since then, it has gained several thousand members.

In September 2006, the PalmBeachPost.com called it "essentially a MySpace-style deal for classical players, composers, critics and enthusiast". The article falsely credited the social networking site to 21C Media, and the news site later corrected its error.
