Chromatica Orchestra

Chromatica Orchestra is a collective of spirited, young, professional musicians unleashing the power of live orchestral music with spine-tingling performances.

Collaborating with a new generation of exceptional conductors and inspirational soloists they create memorable musical experiences that ignite creativity, spark imagination, celebrate beauty and stir emotions. Be there for their inaugural performance at Battersea Arts Centre this October.

On the programme
Aaron Copland Fanfare for the Common Man 
You might recognise this truly spine-tingling music from films and TV but no recording can ever compare with the exhilarating experience of hearing it live.

Samuel Barber Violin Concerto 
Beautifully hummable melodies and a short, astounding display of virtuosity combine in this breathtaking showcase for violin performed by Kristine Balanas.

Sergei Prokofiev Sonata for Two Violins 
Kristine Balanas is joined by Maren Bosma, our orchestra leader, to open the second half of the concert. Enjoy seeing these two musicians up-close as they leave the stage and join you in the audience.

Manuel de Falla El amor Brujo (Love Bewitched) 
Telling the story of a young gypsy woman whose new love affair is haunted by the ghost of her husband, this seductive set of flamenco-inspired dances and songs takes you straight into the heat and promise of an Andalusian night.
