Rock Symphony
was born in October 1997 as a cultural production company specialized
in progressive rock and related genres such as electronic, hard
rock and progmetal. We could say that its prehistory lies in
the pages of the "Enciclopédia do Rock Progressivo", a book
published in 1995 by journalist Leonardo Nahoum, founder and
president of the label. Trying to create a greater diversity
in the Brazilian and (why not?) global musical scene, our main
activity is the release of CDs by contemporary and well-known
artists working within the boundaries of a musical genre which
has among its ranks names like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Renaissance,
O Terço and Sagrado Coração da Terra.
Rock Symphony's cast presents a good balance between Brazilian
active artists (the band Tempus Fugit is an excellent example)
and obscure but incredibly inpressive foreign groups (such as
Yugoslavian setenties combo Tako). On top of that, Rock Symphony
also acts in the showbusiness, producing the Rio ArtRock Festival,
one of the biggest Latin American events dedicated to progressive
rock, since 1996 bringing true legends to the Brazilian stages.
We also produced both Flower Kings tours in our country (1998
and 2000) and the long-awaited first appearance by English band
Camel (5 memorable concerts in 4 different cities). |
