Hörbert expands its offering for the French market

High-quality music and stories in French for Children: New licensing partnerships with Victorie Music and La Montagne secrète.

The German manufacturer HMC is expanding its range of audio content for Hörbert on the French market. As of now, Hörbert is supplied in France with a free memory card containing a carefully curated selection of French-language songs and musical stories. With this offering, HMC aims to make the listening experience even more appealing to French families while continuing to expand its presence in the French market.

Hörbert – music and audio player for children

Hörbert is a robust, durable wooden audio player specially developed to meet the needs of children. Colourful, easy-to-understand buttons enable intuitive operation, allowing children to select and play their own music and stories. hörbert works without a screen, app, cloud or subscriptions.

HMC supplies the player ready to use, with audio content already preloaded. Children can therefore start listening immediately after unpacking. The content can be individually supplemented and replaced using the memory card.

Licensing partnerships with Victorie Music and La Montagne secrète

For this new French edition, HMC is working with two established publishers from the French-speaking world: Victorie Music, based in Bordeaux, and La Montagne secrète, based in Canada.

Victorie Music was founded in 1990 and is based in Bordeaux. The company specialises in the production of music for young audiences.

Victorie also operates as a music publisher and phonographic producer with its own label. (Victorie Music)

As a children’s publisher, La Montagne secrète accompanies children in their first steps into the world of reading. Its catalogue includes works by numerous authors, musicians and illustrators from the French-speaking world and beyond. The publisher has received several awards for its productions.
