Jorge Federico Osorio | Añoranza — Mexican Music for Violin & Piano
Music from Mexico for Violin and Piano showcases a collection of lyrical, romantic works that reflect
the elegance and charm of the country’s salon tradition, a repertoire rarely heard outside of Mexico
today. The program holds deep personal meaning for pianist Jorge Federico Osorio, particularly the
works of José Sabre Marroquín, a close friend of legendary violinist Henryk Szeryng — and of
Osorio’s parents. On various occasions, Marroquín would present his compositions to Szeryng at
Osorio’s boyhood home in Mexico City, to be played for the first time.
RELEASE | MAY 14
JENNIFER KOH | The American Concerto, Volume Two
The American Concerto is a multi-season commissioning project that explores the form of the
violin concerto and its potential to activate social change through music. Koh invited a diverse
group of American composers to engage with socio-cultural topics, relevant and personally
meaningful to them. Volume 2 features new violin concertos by Missy Mazzoli and Philip Glass
with the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra conducted by Tito Muñoz.
RELEASE | JULY 9
RACHEL BARTON PINE & MATTHEW HAGLE | Brahms & Friends Violin Sonatas
Rachel Barton Pine’s 2003 recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto, with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Carlos Kalmar, garnered a Grammy nomination and ecstatic reviews. She
now follows up with a deep dive into Brahms’s chamber music with a recording of all five of his
Violin Sonatas — including the two Op. 120 Sonatas in Brahms’s own (surprisingly rarely heard)
versions for violin. The album also features works by two women in Brahms’s circle: Clara
Schumann (Three Romances) and Amanda Maier (Violin Sonata), all performed with Pine’s
long time pianist-collaborator Mtthew Hagle.
RELEASE | OCTOBER 9
BRITTON-RENÉ COLLINS | All Marimba Album
Hailed as an “Astounding Virtuoso” and “Exhilarating” performer, Britton-René Collins (recently appointed to the Chicago College of Performing Arts percussion faculty) makes her Cedille debut with a program that challenges expectations about the range of sounds a solo marimba can produce (in the right hands). Composers featured include Minoru Miki, Errollyn Wallen, Elias Hadaad, Britton-René Collins, Samuel Kerr, Joseph Schwantner, Csaba Zoltán Marján, and Bruno Mantovani.
Supported by the Robert & Isabelle Bass Foundation, Inc., an Anonymous donor, and Bruce Oltman

The album presents works deeply connected to Chicago’s history, communities, and cultural life. Collaborators include Eighth Blackbird, violinist Rachel Barton Pine, Picosa Ensemble, Grossman Ensemble, and saxophonist Julian Velasco, among others. These world-premiere recordings will offer a vivid portrait of Chicago through artists who have shaped — and been shaped by — the city’s vibrant music scene.
