Passionate and ambitious about sharing your work? Seeking higher returns on individual, group and large choral or orchestral releases?
Convivium Records helps composers, soloists, ensembles and directors across professional performing and music education to release and market their music commercially to a captive global audience.
Designed to meet the needs of current and aspiring music professionals, groups and large choral or orchestral ensembles, our Commercial Release service combines top-label quality mainstream commercial releases of 5000-20,000 discs including production, marketing and online distribution, with unlimited individual customisation and product personalisation at market-beating cost-effectiveness. No two commercial release projects are the same, but typically include several or all project stages including:
Recording, production planning, and project fundraising
Convivium Records’ team can bring to bear on projects a wealth of experience in designing from scratch a range of complete music release projects including administration of recording programmes, production schedules and budgeting, production artwork, licensing and rights management, and production fundraising
Artist and Engineer bookings
The strength of any acoustic production – whether solo, ensemble, choral or orchestral – depends on selecting quality performers, sound engineers and producers, alongside professional recording equipment for the crispest, clearest audio. On request, we help our clients source appropriate musicians to support productions, including booking and managing recording and production sound engineers on releases as required.
Recording, editing, mixing, mastering of recording
Our team at Convivium Records have a wealth of experience in producing and mastering a range of acoustic audio, and working in partnership with clients to achieve outstanding quality sound for your use and release. We can also convert audio files into various formats for release and distribution.
Commercial artwork & design
Entirely bespoke and unique artwork gives all our clients’ releases a polished, top-label professional look and feel, capturing the artists’ character and essence of their music. Our creative process puts artists at the heart of creating commercial artwork concepts, and combining the best of clients’ ideas with original, high-impact creative agency artwork techniques.

Release Promotion and Publicity
If you’re serious about selling your music your music, so are we. Our Launch Media & Marketing service is tailored around each release and based on clients’ objectives but combines efforts in a number of mediums to achieve cost-effective regional media profile and awareness in the main music distribution and marketing channels.

Royalties and Licencing
Some of our clients back their recordings with private funding alongside commercial backing – so we help identify a combination of the above elements to best meet their need while minimising their expenditure. Under agreement with our clients, we may use royalties to help defray some of the upfront and ongoing costs of recording, producing, distributing and marketing commercial releases.
Typically these arrangements enable our clients to maximise their return on investment while vastly saving on start-to-finish release costs compared to mainstream record labels and distribution operations – value for money is our primary commitment.
Rates & Pricings
Estimates for a complete professional recording based on previous projects range from £2,500 – £15,000 based on recording type, size of ensemble, duration, amount of mastering and editing required, artwork specification, quantity and type of distribution, packaging standard, optional release publicity and promotion,
