Cantaloupe Music is the record label created by the three founders of New York’s legendary Bang on a Can organization—composers Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe—with Bang on a Can managing director Kenny Savelson. The label has made a massive impact in the new music community, and has been recognized by critics and fans worldwide for its edgy and adventurous sounds.
Since Cantaloupe provides a home for contemporary classical and post-classical music that is, in the words of Michael Gordon, “too funky for the academy;” our goal was to create equally funky packaging. Composed, ordered and bold — just like the music.
