Tips to watch broadcasts from your TV

Every concert broadcast is a unique musical and cinematic experience; get the most out of each one by watching from your TV.

Watching an online broadcast is easy: just go to the Festival website (svmusicfestival.org) and click the media player at the top right of the page. For public performances, you can also search for Sun Valley Music Festival on YouTube to find the concert. Please note, private events are only available on the Festival website and can only be accessed using the password credentials provided to you. Whether from the website or YouTube, there are many ways to get the concert from your computer or mobile device onto your TV, including casting your computer or mobile device screen to a smart TV.
