Chroma Collective combines music and art in a way that is engaging and fun for our audiences, whether that happens in a classroom, concert hall, library, or any other space. We promote historically marginalized composers in our performances, and design our program so that audience members find the artist within themselves. Participants create their own art as we play our instruments, and we invite them to share their artistry alongside us. With our unique chamber ensemble, we have a flexible instrumentation of two trumpets and soprano/piano.
We present events at community music programs, libraries, children’s museums, parks, or any space where people can come together and share in artistry. We welcome audience members to paint or draw while we guide them through our repertoire. A few ways we begin this exploration are by relating various musical intervals to different colors, encouraging audience members to explore contrasting textures in music and art, and inviting guests to draw lines corresponding to musical phrases. Our goal is to present musical and artistic ideas that invite the audience to explore their personal creativity, whether that audience is a group of young children, college-age students, or a retirement home community – extensive knowledge about music & art is not required, and there are no right or wrong answers. We are here to facilitate the act of creation, not necessarily to paint perfect pictures.
