In the brass world there is a need to increase representation and inclusion of diverse musicians and repertoire. There is a need for new material in the brass community that mirrors the world we live in. There is a need for an ensemble that blurs genre boundaries while celebrating historically underrepresented women/non-binary brass musicians. 

There is a need for Chromatic Brass.

Chromatic Brass Collective is a music organization for racially and ethnically underrepresented women/gender non-binary brass musicians. We aim to perform, mentor, outreach, and educate to increase our visibility throughout our field.

 

With the help of funding, we will be able to fulfill our first-year goals as a non-profit organization in support of our mission. We will establish a mentoring system to encourage aspiring young women/non-binary BIPOC brass musicians; conduct outreach programs and lectures; commission underrepresented composers, and perform to help increase the visibility of women/non-binary BIPOC brass musicians.
