Painting with Sound: The Colors of CHROMA - Stacy Garrop
Episode 58
Thursday, 12 March, 2026

In this episode of Mocktails & Masterpieces, ICO Music Director Matthew Kraemer sits down with composer Stacy Garrop to explore the vibrant stories behind her new work CHROMA. Inspired by the fascinating histories of colors—from the luxurious spice of saffron to the sinister beauty of Scheele’s Green and the celestial calm of cerulean blue—Garrop shares how these vivid narratives became musical sounds. Together, Kraemer and Garrop discuss the process of transforming color into orchestral sound, as well as the storytelling at the heart of Garrop’s music. Listeners will gain insight into the creative journey behind this imaginative work ahead of its world premiere with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. 🎨🎶 Tickets are available for this concert at https://www.icomusic.org/concerts/gardens-of-spain/ March 21, 2025 at the Schrott Center for the Arts - Gardens of Spain
