The winner will record a Cedille Records album for release in Fall 2022 and join a roster of artists including Jennifer Koh, Wendy Warner, Anthony McGill, Eighth Blackbird, and the Pacifica and Dover String Quartets.

The jury for both the semifinal and final will comprise James Ginsburg, Rachel Barton Pine, Henry Fogel, Josephine Lee, George Preston, Vladimir Kulenovic, and David McGill.

The semifinal will be live-streamed on Cedille’s website on November 20, 2021, at 11 AM CST. The final round — with up to four finalists — will be broadcast on Chicago FM radio station, WFMT.
