Many congratulations to Mark Abel, a longtime client and collaborator, for becoming the co-director of Delos. The Delos record label is one of the last and greatest classical music labels, and I have supported Mark with sheet music prep and orchestrations on five Delos releases to date. The releases have gone so well he’s not just a recording artist any more, he’s helping to run the label!

Mark willfully entered the contemporary classical music world relatively late in life, after ending a long career as a journalist and changing directions. His determination, focus, and self-education are significant, and the fruits of his labor are clearly showing. In addition to co-directing Delos with Carol Rosenberger we are also working on the next album project which will come out sometime next year, so he’s not slowing down.

My first collaboration with Mark was in 2011. In the last 8 years his music career has gone basically from zero to having a large catalogue and co-directing a label. Many congratulations Mark! I’m happy for you.
