Join the Virtuoso Guild, Help Sustain Cedille’s Work
We invite you to join the Virtuoso Guild. Members of the Guild, an exclusive community of supporters who contribute $10,000 or more annually, play a vital role in sustaining Cedille’s mission of championing Chicago’s finest classical musicians. Guild members’ generosity ensures that we can continue to make extraordinary recordings, sharing the artists’ virtuosity with listeners worldwide. Jim Ginsburg, Cedille’s President and Founder, notes:
“The especially generous contributions we receive from members of the Virtuoso Guild allow us to expand opportunities for artists, reach new audiences, and ensure that this city’s rich classical music talent is heard around the world.”
As an expression of our deep appreciation, Virtuoso Guild members will receive an invitation to an exclusive private concert and dinner each year. The first such event will take place in Spring 2026 and offer an intimate evening of world-class music. It’s our way of saying “thank you” and celebrating the incredible impact that our most dedicated donors have on the careers of Chicago’s finest classical musicians.
We invite you to join the Virtuoso Guild and take part in this unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the world of classical music. To learn more about becoming a member, please contact Julie Polanski (773.989.2518 or julie@cedillerecords.org). We look forward to welcoming you into this special community of music lovers and patrons.

Cedille’s newest digital single, Mischa Zupko: Harpsichord Concerto is available to stream everywhere. Scored for harpsichord and string quartet, the concerto exhibits highly idiomatic harpsichord writing, brought brilliantly into the present by Zupko’s ingenious reshaping of older musical styles into a thoroughly modern expression.
From Chicago-based composter Stacy Garrop comes INVICTUS, Latin for “unconquered.” The work unfolds across four movements and an interlude, moving between lyrical introspection, fierce determination, and triumphant resolve, with Grammy-nominated pianist Marta Aznavoorian and the Chicago Philharmonic under the direction of Artistic Director Scott Speck. Available 5/8.
In honor of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we repromote our playlist of Cedille recordings of music by (almost all) American composers based on American themes — people, places, events, etc. — and add a few recent tracks that fit the theme (and bring the total to 50).
