| ‘SonicAngel and KlaraFestival team up to scout, fund, release and showcase new local talent in classic music.’
Some months ago, we launched SonicAngel Lektroland. Our first artist is fully funded, and RadicalG is even having his album launch party next thursday September 9 in Belgium. We also have bands from Switserland, Germany, France and the US now.
Today, we’re launching a project dedicated to classical music. Together with KlaraFestival/Festival van Vlaanderen, our intention is to stimulate young classical artist, in classic interpretation, new work or contemporary interpretations.

KlaraFestival and SonicAngel will join forces to scout out promising new local talent. They are organising a contestaimed at musicians and composers between the ages of 16 and 26 who are inspired by classical music. The contest is divided into three categories. The first category will be made up of submissions from musicians who demonstrate their musicality through existing compositions. In the second category, composers can set to work on writing music for their own ensemble or band. The final category will contain submissions of works/compositions that push the envelope and are inspired by classical music.
From all the submissions, a professional jury will invite 15 finalists to give a live performance. Following this performance, the three winners of the contest will be selected. These winners will be offered a platform with SonicAngel and through fan funding – that is, rallying fans via the website and convincing them to pay for part of the cd recording – they can win a recording contract with SonicAngel. KlaraFestivaland SonicAngel will each promote the winning musicians in their own way, and the winners are already guaranteed a spot on the bill for KlaraFestival 2012.
