Chicago Composers Playlist
In honor of our November release featuring music by Chicago composer Mischa Zupko, we present a playlist of 20 different Chicago composers, to which we’ll add the title track from Mischa Zupko’s album Eclipse when it’s released on November 11. Sharing high-quality recordings of the work of our city’s many talented composers is a core aspect of Cedille’s mission, and we’ve been thrilled to present world-premiere recordings written and performed by local artists to national and global audiences. Enjoy our playlist, and check back in later this month to hear new music by Mischa Zupko!

We celebrate the month of America’s Independence Day with this updated playlist (originally launched in July 2023) of Cedille recordings of music by (almost all) American composers based on American themes — people, places, events, etc.
