From Chicago, For Chicago: Artists in Collaboration
Following up on his Grammy-nominated Cedille full-album debut, Songs in Flight, composer Shawn Okpebholo brings together some of Chicago’s most accomplished musicians (and Cedille artists) for a new album of chamber works. The project highlights the strong relationships and shared creativity that define the city’s music community, with many of the artists collaborating as longtime friends and partners.
Each piece is inspired by Chicago — its history, its neighborhoods, and its cultural institutions. From reflections on redlining, to the Chicago River, to a tribute to WFMT, the music connects deeply to the city and the people who shape it.
Cedille is proud to help foster these collaborations. By bringing artists together and supporting their work, Cedille plays an important role in strengthening Chicago’s musical community and sharing its distinctive voices with audiences everywhere
