Become a Sponsor

Your partnership directly supports our innovative programs, groundbreaking residencies, and the work of our resident ensemble, Chroma—Chicago’s only chamber vocal ensemble dedicated to music by composers of the global majority. Sponsorship helps fund commissions, world premieres, and community-centered performances, while also nurturing the careers of extraordinary artists whose stories deserve to be heard. As a sponsor, you join a community of changemakers committed to creating a more inclusive and vibrant musical landscape. Together, we can reimagine what classical music looks and sounds like today, ensuring that artists and audiences alike experience its power in new ways.

COLLABORATE WITH US

Hearing in Color invites artists, community leaders, venues, and organizations to collaborate with us in amplifying the voices of historically excluded composers and communities. Our mission is to reimagine classical music by centering stories of the global majority, creating performances that reflect the diversity of our world. Collaboration has always been at the heart of our vision—whether partnering with the North Shore Baptist Church to bring music into sacred community spaces, joining forces with D-Composed to uplift Black artistry, or presenting transformative concerts at the Kehrein Center for the Arts. Together, we can create platforms where music inspires dialogue, belonging, and joy. We welcome you to share your ideas, energy, and artistry as we continue building a more inclusive cultural future.
