Met enige trots presenteren we nu onze vierde Complete Catalogus 2017. In een wereld waar de grenzen van de nieuw gecomponeerde muziek continu verlegd worden, streven we als muziekuitgevers naar een eclectische catalogus, waarin kwaliteit, eigenheid en artistiek ex- cellentie onze criteria zijn. Deze catalogus bevat vele nieuwe titels van onze huiscompo- nisten, van Robert Zuidam tot Paul M. van Brugge, in omgekeerde alfabetische volgorde. Nieuw in ons fonds zijn componisten Annelies Van Parys (1974) en Aart Strootman (1987). Van Parys onderzoekt in haar muziek akoestische klankmogelijkheden, terwijl Strootman naar een sound zoekt die aansluiting vind bij de popmuziek – een stroming die leeft binnen zijn generatie. Ook op het terrein van de educatie presenteren we twee nieu- we componisten. Monique Krüs componeert muziek die door de gekozen thematiek en artistieke niveau het educatieve aspect overstijgt en hiermee een frisse aanwinst is voor het genre van de familievoorstelling. -
