About MusicVenture
Passion for creating new audio-visual products and experiences
MusicVenture is a company and partnership with passion for music and crossbranding. Based on roots and professional experience with international branding, consumer trends and strategic marketing from the sporting goods industry, music industry and related industries MusicVenture is passionate about entrepreneurial projects with new partners. The core product of MusicVenture is development, innovation and management based on the music, compositions and talents of Klaus Schønning and Ste Van Holm.
Through 40 years Klaus Schønning has created his own musical universe. He released his first album “Lydglimt” (Glimpses of Sound) in 1979. Since then, he has composed, recorded and produced more than 40 solo albums, while also composing music for movies, special events and performing with the Pink Floyd inspired Danish band ”The North”. The music of Klaus Schønning is an instrumental universe of symphonic built melodies, which tickle our imagination and leave room for our fantasy. Through the years his music has moved between fantasy and reality – inspired by myths, magic, fairytales and nature. Before releasing the CD “Fairytales” in 2005 Klaus Schønning decided to seek new paths with his music through a partnership in MusicVenture – a company where crossbranding and cooperation with other industries opens new opportunities and new inspiration for his work as well as for clients to MusicVenture. When musician Ste van Holm joined as a partner his releases were included as a part of the MusicVenture discography and musical base.
MusicVenture explores new borders, international network and global partnerships realizing that success on the global market comes with innovative and creative new concepts
