Telarc International Slashes Staff, Gives Up Producing Records

The multiple-Grammy-winning company, which includes jazz labels Heads Up and Concord as well as classical label Telarc (home of the Atlanta and Cincinnati Symphonies), is eliminating half of its 52 staff positions and ending all in-house record production. Telarc will continue to manufacture and distribute recordings produced by others; the company’s founders and chief recording engineer have already launched new ventures with Telarc as a major client.
