MARCUS MOON PRESS & MEDIA KIT
“There is no reason that contemporary classical music should not have a much greater audience than it does today. We need to carve out a bigger creative space for it, and I intend to be a part of that change.”

Marcus Moon, Composer
Classical music FOR modern times
Marcus Moon is a composer active out of Vancouver, Canada. He composes in the style and instrumentation of classical music, but with an unmistakable influence of modern day life. Deeply inspired by the modern day singer/songwriters that he grew up listening to, there is always a story at the center of his work. Although his music is mostly without words, he paints the most vivid and heartfelt imagery using simple harmonies and very direct melodies, played on classical instruments, such as piano and cello.
His debut album was released in December, 2020 to critical acclaim and instant success on music charts and digital platforms.
“Marcus, I could not be more moved by your example, the work and the commitment to bring about your vision and communicate that with the world. We need a lot more of you in the world—thanks for your light!”
