Additional support for laureates

The beyond Tango initiative entails the production of a CD, which will be published via the usual channels and thus become part of each laureate's personal discography.

The production will be at a professional level, with great attention accorded to the details of each element in the chain of production, from the selection of rooms and microphones to editing and the design and manufacture of the final product.

The CD will be provided to concert organisers, broadcasters, journalists and musical institutions in Germany and abroad. Laureates will also be entered into the publisher's portfolio of artists.

The release concert will be recorded professionally in both audio and video. The recordings will be made available to each laureate for their own use as a digital video, free of charge. Laureates will also enjoy further direct support by the publishing house, e.g. with offers of free sheet music and promotion for European or world premieres of new works.
