�鶹��Ƶ Music, the commercial label of the �鶹��Ƶ Conservatory of Music, is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with , the world’s largest independent digital distributor of classical music.

The three-year pact pairs the outstanding music created by �鶹��Ƶ faculty and students with the international reach of Naxos. Under terms of the agreement, Naxos will serve as the exclusive CD distributor of �鶹��Ƶ Music recordings across the United States and Canada, in addition to digital distribution of all �鶹��Ƶ Music titles internationally.

“Our faculty and students so thoroughly dedicate themselves to creating music worthy of the world’s grandest stages,” says Andrea Kalyn, acting dean of the �鶹��Ƶ Conservatory. “�鶹��Ƶ Music’s partnership with Naxos allows us to share that stunning artistry with a global audience. It’s truly a wonderful collaboration.”

The first �鶹��Ƶ Music recordings to be distributed by Naxos are Ravel: Intimate Masterpieces, a collection of chamber music conceived by �鶹��Ƶ faculty harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, and Dr. Seuss’ The Sneetches, an original symphonic poem adapted from the classic children’s tale and performed by the �鶹��Ƶ Orchestra, with narration by actor John de Lancie.

Both recordings are available for download through iTunes and other digital services beginning October 1 and on CD beginning October 29.

In addition, Naxos will distribute the entire �鶹��Ƶ Music catalog, including two releases that also debuted in 2013: A place toward other places, featuring �鶹��Ƶ faculty clarinetist Richard Hawkins and the �鶹��Ƶ Contemporary Music Ensemble, and Hypersuite 2: Music for Solo Cello, a collection of works by Bach paired with contemporary pieces inspired by the master, performed by faculty cellist Darrett Adkins.
