During the September 9th ceremonies, Gerhard Narholz, composer and founder of Sonoton
Production Music, received the first "Hall of Fame" Mark Award. The newly established
international award for production music was presented by the Production Music Association
(PMA) in Los Angeles. Gerhard Narholz was honored with the "Hall of Fame" award for his
life's work.



"I was at the CEEMPC Congress in Istanbul when I got the news from Los Angeles. The
surprise was perfect. I am very pleased about the award," says Gerhard Narholz. "I'm
accepting this in place for hundreds of composers, producers, musicians and worldwide
publisher colleagues." His son Gregor Narholz accepted the award on behalf of his father.



Working as a songwriter for artists such as Petula Clark and Bill Ramsey, and as a
composer for German feature films and television series, Gerhard Narholz had the idea to
compose and produce specific film and television music as background music. In order to
employ other composers, he founded the SONOTON publishing house together with his wife
Rotheide in 1965 and thus introduced library music in Germany. Today, with more than
100,000 tracks from 16 labels, Sonoton is the largest independent production music library
in the world and sets highest standards in terms of quality, technology and service.



Associated Production Music (APM) is the official representative of SONOTON in the
United States. Sonoton's US Director is Elisabeth Oei, who since 1993 has supported the
German-based company in becoming the leading US brand.
