About us

Muvac GmbH is a technology driven start-up for the arts. We create innovative solutions that revolutionize and improve the life of professionals in the sector of classical music.

muvac stands for well done, reliable, creative and respectful. Our work is characterized by a deep respect for the arts and illustrates that we understand the business of classical music and the needs of the people active in that sector.

In 2010 we started the development of www.muvac.com (short for music vacancies) which is now the leading platform in Europe to organize orchestral auditions with more than 250 institutions in 27 different countries. In early 2019 we launched the latest version of the platform, which adapts the application process to the needs of other institutions in the classical music sector such as competitions, academies, festivals, courses and masterclasses or music schools and universities. At the same time, we are developing a new project called www.klassikal.com.

It is now time to expand muvac to the north-american market and we are looking for a new colleague who represents the company in this region.
