"... a cohesive and finely-disciplined group despite being just out of the starting gate..."
   - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune, October 4, 2011

"... one expected technically gleaming and virtuosic performance and the Chroma Chamber Orchestra certainly delivered in a varied program featuring two superb solo turns and a world premiere written for the occasion..." 
   - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review, October 3, 2011

With great anticipation we announce the inaugural 2011-2012 season of the Chroma Chamber Orchestra, comprising three concerts at Nichols Hall in Evanston as orchestra-in-residence at the prestigious Music Institute of Chicago. The CCO’s programming will emphasize late-romantic and early modern repertoire (and select contemporary works) of enormous appeal rarely performed by area ensembles. These works will be presented in a context that integrates the performing, visual and literary arts to create a unique, multifaceted concert experience. 
 
The CCO will collaborate with distinguished soloists, composers, writers, visual artists, choreographers, art historians - and diverse educational and cultural institutions (including MIC), from dance companies to art galleries, spanning the entire spectrum of the arts. Opportunities for synergy and cross-fertilization are truly exciting and unparalleled.

From the first concert on October 2, 2011, featuring internationally acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Futral singing Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, the Chroma Chamber Orchestra will redefine creative programming. The musicians, led by concertmaster Baird Dodge of the CSO, have been drawn from Chicago’s top orchestras and chamber groups, brought together not only for their exceptional musicianship, but for their delight in both exploration and collaboration. These old friends, aligned to new purpose, plan to electrify their audience with the innovation and beauty of these concerts.

        Complimentary Wine and Cheese Reception for each concert!
