Chroma Collection
Chroma Collection: A Progressive Collection of 12 pieces for 2-part flex instruments and piano.
Diversify the Stand is partnering with the Chroma Collective to make the Chroma Collection! This collection will be available for all wind instruments, not just brass! This newest project will commission Hannah Boissonneault, Joi Harper, Joe Jaxson, and Cait Nishimura to each write three new pieces for two-part flex and piano. These works will blend visual and performing arts in a variety of ways, creating beautiful works off of a multitude of art styles.
Like Winds of Change and reSounding Progess, these works will be progressive, and accessible for a wide range of playing levels! They’ll be great for student recitals, solo and ensembles, competitions, and playing with friends of all instrument types!
Funds will directly support the commissions for 12 new flex-ensemble works and the creation of the physical and digital books that will be available in five keys: C, Bb, Eb, F, and C bass clef.
