The Chicago Chamber Musicians received an unexpected gift yesterday afternoon, when we learned that our recently-released Mozart recording (on the Summit Records label) has been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Chamber Music Performance! While we’re pulling for the win, we are thrilled to be one of just five finalists in the category – and honored to be the only classical artist from Chicago to be nominated this year.
One of our organization’s strategies for building CCM’s renown and sharing the joy of our music with others has been to invest in making recordings. As CCM subscription audiences know, the CCM ensemble artists deliver performances that thrill and delight, stir and amaze the listener. CCM will always offer live performances, but it’s wonderful to have recordings as a way to share our music with a broader public.
CCM’s other recently-released recording of works by John Harbison on the Naxos label includes a collaboration with the late, radiant mezzo, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, singing North and South: Six Poems of Elizabeth Bishop, reviewed last week by John von Rhein.
Either recording would be a spectacular choice for the music lovers on your holiday gift list this month. And tune in to cheer on our Chicago artists during the GRAMMY ceremonies on February 11!

Congratulations to you as well! By "classical artist" I meant performers. Chicago Symphony composer in residence Osvaldo Golijov has a significant spot in the nominations as well. I am by all means happy that Chicago is more broadly represented in these GRAMMY nominations.

and to think I once got to hear you sing along with Prince as Raspberry Beret played on the radio! On a related "note" (nyuk, nyuk) please take a gander at http://www.lmu.edu/Page24176.aspx If memory serves Pomona College didn't have a chamber orchestra now did they!
