Music of Hope (CD) Tim Janis | Instrumental Catholic CDs

After receiving literally thousands of emails from music listeners with inspiring stories about how his music had helped them in difficult times, Tim Janis wanted to help create a CD whose direct goal was to uplift people's spirits. With cancer the cause of several deaths in his family, Janis connected with Matt Singer at Dawn Treader Productions and the American Cancer Society to help create the non-profit benefit album "Music of Hope."

Working with some of the world's top artists, including Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Ray Charles, the New York Philharmonic conducted by Kurt Masur, the London Symphony, Emanuel Ax, and Andre Previn, Janis lent his skill as a composer, orchestrater, arranger, and engineer to the project. He also devoted three months to touring the country to promoting the CD at retail.

The result was a #1 hit on the Billboard Classical chart and significant funds raised for the American Cancer Society's cancer research programs. Perhaps most meaningful for Janis was volunteering at multiple American Cancer Society "Relay for Life" events nationwide to give his personal musical tribute to the individuals whose lives have been changed by cancer.
