Novae

In NOVAE, Chroma celebrates renewal, creation, and the quiet power of beginnings. The title, meaning “new stars,” evokes the moment when something brilliant bursts forth from darkness. A fitting image for a concert that brings fresh voices and new music to life.

Our programme features a new work by Dr. Matthew Emery, Chroma’s composer in residence, alongside pieces that reflect different facets of transformation: the resilience that follows loss, the courage to imagine something new, and the beauty that emerges when sound breaks silence. The music moves between intimacy and radiance, drawing listeners into a soundscape that feels both personal and vast.

With NOVAE, Chroma closes its season by looking forward toward discovery, hope, and the creative spark that continues to illuminate our shared humanity. Join us for an evening of luminous new works that remind us how art and light are forever reborn.
