now is the time to support this work

There’s powerful momentum

building at Hearing in Color.

We are actively investing in a more inclusive creative ecosystem by uplifting artists and communities whose voices have too often been excluded. Your support helps sustain our Young Composer Residency, providing emerging composers with mentorship and meaningful performance opportunities; Chroma, our resident chamber vocal ensemble dedicated to commissioning and performing works by composers of a global majority; and community-led, community-organized productions that center local stories and collaboration.

We’re building something vibrant, meaningful,
and rooted in justice.
