"We were so happy to have the wonderful Chroma return to Fair Isle this autumn.  Each and every member of the group brings so much to Fair Isle - of course beautiful music, but also fun and engaging creative workshops for all ages - something quite special when we live in the UK's most remote island community.
The Fair Isle children get an incredible introduction to classical music and the joy it brings.  Chroma is not just a group of visiting artists; they have become true friends of the community and they enrich our lives here."
Eileen Thomson, Fair Isle Community Association

“thank you  so much for the great work you did with school children. The processes worked through, skills practiced and knowledge shared along with so much creativity has very much enhanced the children’s curriculum this term and beyond”
Ruth Stout, Head Teacher, Fair Isle School

2020-2021 BETWEEN LOCKDOWNS:
CurrenT, RisinG; RHUL & RAM

In July 2020 we recorded the score for Current Rising - a hyper-reality opera at the Royal Opera House (experiences postponed due to 3rd Lockdown but ran during May 2021), then worked with the under- and post-grad composers at Royal Holloway University of London (67 in all, over two terms), culminating in a live-streamed concert of stimulus piece Railgun by Anna Meredith plus a selection of student works. We continued our mentoring of 6 post-grad composers and 3 instrumentalists at the Royal Academy of Music - in the room in October , over zoom in February and back in the room again in March, when we recorded the resulting pieces.
Thank you to everyone who persevered to make these projects happen - safely - and bravo to the faculties at RHUL and RAM for giving their students quality projects with in-person CHROMAtie mentoring!
