Celebrating Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 90th Birthday!
Since 1989, Cedille Records has released nearly 40 vocal albums featuring more than 50 different soloists and ensembles. The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings honors the late Justice’s love of vocal music — the music and its performers, and her support of Cedille Records. The Fund will support Cedille’s release of at least one vocal album each year.
We celebrate what would have been the Justice’s (the mother of Cedille Records’ founder and President James Ginsburg) 90th birthday, on March 15, 2023, with a playlist of pieces she loved (or would have loved in the case of the opera we just released), beginning with two songs that touch on her personally and including five (out of 15) selections by women composers. We hope you will enjoy them in her honor and memory!

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).
