A HOME FOR SCORES

Universal Music Group is launching a new boutique record label dedicated to the art of film and TV music, Mercury Classics Soundtrack & Score, through Globe Soundtrack & Score, Decca and Verve labels.

The first major releases are Abel Korzeniowski’s score for Till and Hildur Guðnadóttir’s music for Women Talking. Bryce Dessner’s score for A Good Person will be released next year.

Lana Thompson has been appointed as label manager.

“The launch of Mercury Classics Soundtrack & Score reinforces Universal Music Group’s status as the world’s most soundtrack-friendly music company,” Dickon Stainer, president and CEO of Global Classics & Jazz and Verve Label Group, said. “This exciting new international label venture will enable us to reach ever-wider audiences, and deepen our support for today’s leading score composers and performers.”

Mercury Classics Soundtrack & Score is focused on delivering unique creative campaigns for film and TV works with the goal of enhancing the profiles and reach of the composers.
