Founded in 2021, this premium subscription channel with programs curated by Carnegie Hall features some of the finest performing arts presentations from the world’s most prestigious stages, including full-length concerts, operas, dance, documentaries, and artist profiles, plus family offerings. With selections drawn from Unitel’s premier catalogue, many programs are offered exclusively on the channel and available in the U.S. for the first time.
