Amplify the Unforgettable
Set the mood, elevate storytelling and capture your audience with a soundtrack that creates lasting memories.
The Perfect Composition for Your Next Event
“Sound is crucial to set the mood and tone of your event,” says Nick Greene, Encore Product Manager for Audio and Power. “Whether you’re using music during walk-in and walk-out periods, for meal functions, at breaks or to lift the mood during networking, using music to enhance your programming is key.”
Whether simple background sounds or complex musical pieces, how you combine them shapes the emotions your production creates.
Rhythm
Set the pace, generate energetic chemistry and encourage audience interaction with a repeated pattern of sounds, silences and length.
Pitch
Defined by how quickly sound waves vibrate, this quality indicates notes as high or low. Variations in pitch can add depth, drama and emotion to an unveiling—and foster connection with a speaker or performer.
Melody
Reinforce the event message with simple, catchy melodies that evoke feelings and resonate with listeners to leave lasting memories.
Harmony
Create emotional highs and lows to build anticipation for your story with two or more notes that make a distinct musical idea when played simultaneously.
Timbre
Build unique atmospheres in areas such as breakout rooms with different ranges of sounds and instruments.
Dynamics
Highlight key moments through surprise and building suspense with variations in volume from soft to loud.

The demonstration needed to incorporate clear audio as part of its storytelling, informing attendees watching from the waterfront, convention center and live streams about each action-packed part of the ‘battle.’ Enter Encore, ready to take on the mission.
Solution
To deliver the wow factor for viewers, no matter where they were on the grounds, Encore:
- Engaged audiences with resounding audio, narrating each part of the demonstration across the bay to attendees in various event spaces
- Produced and coordinated each aspect of the fast-paced demonstration
- Live streamed the entire event so it could reach in-person and remote participants
- Pushed the live feed to the convention center, in outlets along the riverwalk and to remote viewers’ devices
- Enthralled waterfront viewers with storytelling at sea, highlighting the vibrant video on a large LED wall on a floating barge
- Ensured a flawless livestream to reach a broader audience
Outcome
The Battle of the Bay was a roaring success, drawing 19,000 attendees — 4,000 more than the previous year. Thanks to the clear narration, the audience gained a deeper understanding of the aircraft, halo jumpers, Navy Seals and more.
Chelsea Hamashin, Vice President of Marketing & Events, Global SOF Foundation, raved, “The Encore team was amazing to work with — they rose to every challenge. They tackled every obstacle and put together an amazing, finished product. No issue was too big and they weren't afraid of any of the ideas or concepts we put in front of them.
“If someone else were to have a similar project or proposal, I would 100 percent recommend Encore.”

Objective
The World Culture Festival is held to bring people together through a celebration of diverse, global cultures, sharing messages of unity and joy. When the Art of Living Foundation, which sponsors the event, brought the fourth edition to the U.S. for the first time, it decided to host the experience at the nation’s capital, Washington, DC.
Creating the large-scale affair on the National Mall presented unique challenges and layers of complexity — specifically to logistics and infrastructure planning. Luckily, the foundation teamed up with Encore and its subsidiary brand Hargrove to bring the vibrant festival of cultures to life.

Solution
Producing an event of this scale required building out the entire
infrastructure from scratch to span the event space’s 3,000,000 square
feet, while navigating the National Mall’s rules, regulations and
multiple permits. Seeing opportunities in every challenge,
Encore and Hargrove flexed the full breadth of their capabilities:

- Encore enhanced inclusion with remote, simultaneous ASL interpretation
- Hargrove served as the general services contractor
- Hargrove provided creative, design, fabrication,graphics, tenting, logistics and labor services, including over five acres of matrix flooring
Outcome
Leveraging its full scope of production services, the Encore umbrella of organizations delivered an unforgettable cultural extravaganza.
The event featured over 17,000 performers representing more than 180 countries around the world. Their breathtaking performances showcased incredible and diverse voices, talent and creativity on one central stage. It also engaged attendees with hands-on activities like workshops on meditation, culturally inspired crafts for kids and a wide array of cuisine.
Over the three days, the festival welcomed one million attendees with an additional 25 million viewers who watched the live stream, serving as a testament to the power of unity and the magic that Encore can create on a global stage.
