Cantaloupe Music | Discover the label's releases on Naxos.com. Available now for streaming and purchase.

Cantaloupe Music is the record label created and launched in March 2001 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 recognised by critics and fans worldwide for its edgy and adventurous sounds.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026, Cantaloupe’s goal is still the same: to provide a home for contemporary classical and post-classical music that is, in the words of Michael Gordon, “too funky for the academy.”
