Cast a vote for the most Essential Composers

What makes a composer great? They innovate, influence and inspire. They craft the kind of enduring music that leaves you breathless, for centuries after they've written their final notes.

Classical MPR is giving you the opportunity to cast a vote for your favorite composers — the ones who bring inspiration to your life.

Select the composers you love today, then join us on Classical MPR during our Winter Member Drive (February 17 to 25) as we reveal your Top Composers. We'll dive deep into their lives and works as we share the beautiful music that's part of their lasting legacies.
