Description
Arian Jansen, executive producer
Every time I receive a note from one of our musicians from somewhere in the world, updating us on a new concert, recording project or triumph with new repertoire, I think back to Yarlung’s founding fifteen years ago. Yarlung received our non-profit public charity status from the IRS on August 7th, 2007. Our mission continues to support musicians at the beginnings of their international concert careers and to support the creation of new music through commissions for some of today’s most exciting composers. Yarlung’s role as an incubator for musical creativity helps musicians and composers triumph despite the odds. The Yarlung community thrives thanks to these creative people, generous board members, executive producers, corporations and foundations who support our mission, and engineers who have designed and built unique equipment to help us capture living breathing musical performance on analog tape, DSD, surround sound and high resolution PCM digital formats.
Yarlung executive producers Randy Bellous (from the Stratton Petit Foundation) and Gary Koh (from Genesis Technologies) independently suggested it was time to celebrate Yarlung’s 15th Anniversary. Arian Jansen and I put this album together for you, and for our musicians and their fans around the world. Thank you for the nudge.
The twenty tracks selected for you include music from some of Yarlung’s first albums through recordings just released. This 15th Anniversary album booklet includes the full album booklets for each included track. I invite you to explore our catalog more deeply. Our hats are off to you, members of the audiophile community, to our musicians, and to the generous corporations and executive producers who make our releases possible. Musicians in their early teens have contributed small amounts of money to support our musicians, and important corporations, Toyota, Merging Technologies, Salesforce, Genesis and others have contributed larger sums to support this music. Our musicians join us in appreciation for every gift. While we measure our success in smiles on musicians’ and listeners’ faces, these efforts have also earned three GRAMMY® nominations, one Latin GRAMMY win, and a nomination from the International Classical Music Association in Europe. Thank you!
