GRAMMY-winning production house PARMA Recordings announced its acquisition of Albany Records, with PARMA assuming responsibility for Albany operations and catalog administration.
Albany Records is a record label that concentrates on unconventional contemporary classical music by American composers and musicians, established by Peter Kermani in 1987, based in Albany.
Albany’s catalog will be available alongside releases from PARMA’s Navona, Ravello, Big Round, and Ansonica Record labels. The acquisition aligns with and further strengthens PARMA’s offerings, adding new depth to diverse recordings. Through this, Albany’s catalog will continue to resonate with classical music enthusiasts for years. PARMA has updated and relaunched Albany’s website, maintaining the presence of Albany’s celebrated catalog with updated aesthetics, new features, and more.
PARMA Recordings specializes in high-quality audio production, social media promotion, digital advertising, website design and development, and multimedia creation. Their international team works with a diverse roster of creative types across several independent record labels to make compelling music and media in an innovative, engaging, and entertaining way.
We are honored to welcome Albany Records into the PARMA family. Albany’s historical focus on excellence and innovation in the arts mirrors our own values at PARMA. We are committed to upholding Albany’s legacy, and to ensuring that their extraordinary catalog of classical music continues to reach new audiences.
PARMA CEO Bob Lord.
Albany founders Peter Kermani and Susan Bush, who will continue to serve as artistic directors for the label, shared their thoughts on the transition. “Albany’s journey over the past few decades has been one of passion and dedication,” said Kermani. “Seeing it find a new home with PARMA, an institution that shares our vision for the future of classical music, is immensely gratifying.”
“We’ve always believed in preserving the traditions and integrity of classical music while also making room for new voices,” added Bush. “With PARMA, Albany’s legacy is in good hands.”
