We need your help to record the sublime music of Mårten Jansson

10/31/2016

 
Chantage needs your help to record the first album dedicated exclusively to the choral music of Mårten Jansson, an emerging Swedish composer with a unique and beautiful style that deserves to be heard worldwide.

We were immediately charmed by Jansson's music and were surprised to find that this Bärenreiter-published composer did not yet have an album dedicated to his music. We are excited for the opportunity to better disseminate Jansson's choral repertoire to wider audiences on our own record label, but in order to do this, we need your assistance.  
Funding this CD project would help cover the costs of:
  • buying published music
  • a professional orchestra for the premiere recording of Jansson's 'Missa Popularis'
  • professional producers, engineers, etc.
  • costs of the recording venue, microphone hire, etc.
  • CD printing and distribution

We ran a crowdfunder campaign during October and successfully raised over £5,000 to help make the project a reality.  We also completed the first recording session for this project at the end of the month, singing Jansson's Missa Popularis.  You can see  video of some of the session here.

But we still need support to finish the project.

You can pre-order the CD here.

If you can donate to support the project, we'd be so grateful!
