Casey Crescenzo, frontman of progressive indie-rockers The Dear Hunter, has announced plans to compose his first symphony, which will be recorded this fall in the Czech Republic with the Brno Philharmonic. But there’s a catch: He needs your financial support.
To put your money where your mouth is, head over to the Pledge Music site. According to a press release, incentives for donators “range from autographed score books and a limited edition double gatefold vinyl release of the symphony, to the opportunity to join Crescenzo in the Czech Republic for the recording, or have him hand-deliver the vinyl release and score book to their home and perform a private concert.”
