Orange Mountain Music

Orange Mountain Music is an American record label established to archive master recordings connected to composer Philip Glass and a circle of artists associated with his work. The label’s catalog centers on contemporary classical and related experimental music, reflecting Glass’s long-running recording activity and the collaborative projects that have grown around it.

The label was created by Kurt Munkacsi and Don Christensen. Munkacsi is identified with the production of most Philip Glass recordings and with Euphorbia Productions, positioning the label as an archival home for recordings shaped by a consistent production lineage. Orange Mountain Music’s stated purpose has been to preserve and present master recordings by Glass alongside releases by other artists who have collaborated with him or have been otherwise connected to his musical world.

Within that framework, Orange Mountain Music has released work by Philip Glass and by performers and ensembles whose profiles align with contemporary composition and new-music performance. Artists associated with the label include Third Angle New Music, as well as projects and collaborators such as Sussan Deyhim and Tenzin Choegyal, whose work points to the label’s interest in cross-cultural and experimental vocal and instrumental music. The roster also includes acts such as Duo Multicorde, XA4, Feico Deutekom, and Chase Spruill, illustrating a catalog that extends beyond a single composer while remaining anchored in the aesthetic and collaborative networks around Glass.
