The Welcome Table
The ensemble’s debut program, The Welcome Table, will feature music by Reena Esmail, Tania León, and Damien Geter, alongside 4 world premieres by composers Steve Wallace, Yiran Zhao, Jalen Scott, and Michael R Oldham; written specifically for the ensemble's debut. Together, the program highlights a vibrant spectrum of sounds, traditions, and lived experiences, inviting audiences to gather around music as a shared space of welcome, reflection, and community.
The debut concert will take place in partnership with the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, Chicago’s longest-running Latine cultural center connecting communities, through Afro-Latin art and culture, deepening Chroma’s commitment to building bridges between communities and celebrating diasporic voices.
“Chroma is a space where the voices of marginalized identities are not just included but celebrated. This ensemble is a home for music that reflects the richness, diversity, and resilience of our communities”
