Celebrate Chicago’s Musical Community at Soirée Cedille

Join Cedille Records for an unforgettable evening of music and generosity at our annual Soirée Cedille benefit on Sunday, September 28 at Venue SIX10 at the Spertus Institute (610 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago). This special night will bring together music lovers, artists, and supporters to celebrate Cedille’s mission of championing Chicago’s finest classical musicians.

The evening’s highlight will be a spectacular concert featuring Grammy-winning baritone Will Liverman (a Cedille Board member), celebrated for his rich vocal artistry, alongside Chicago collaborative pianist extraordinaire, Kuang-Hao Huang. We are also thrilled to introduce the soon-to-be-determined winner of Cedille’s upcoming Emerging Artist Competition, concluding in May, who will take the stage to showcase the extraordinary talent that represents the future of classical music in Chicago. Dinner will follow the concert.

The event will honor those whose contributions have made a lasting impact on the arts. Philanthropist Helen Zell will receive the Martin D. Ginsburg Award, named in honor of Cedille’s first Board Chair and most enthusiastic advocate. Additionally, we will recognize the Ravinia Festival with our Musical Partnership Award in celebration of its dedication to enriching Chicago’s vibrant musical landscape.

Your attendance directly supports Cedille’s mission to elevate Chicago artists through world-class recordings. Enjoy an evening of inspiration, elegance, and camaraderie while helping us continue to provide a global platform for exceptional local musicians. Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to Cedille, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Reserve your place today and be part of an evening that harmonizes music and philanthropy in the heart of Chicago. The concert will also be streamed online. For tickets and sponsorship opportunities, visit this webpage or call 773.989.2515.
