CHROMIC DUO

Chromic Duo, comprised of artists Lucy Yao and Dorothy Chan, blends classical music, toy piano, and electronics into genre-fluid performances, immersive installations, and AR (Augmented Reality) Soundwalks. They were awarded the 2022 Grand Prize at the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) and Concert Artists Guild (CAG) Victor Elmaleh Competition. Drawing from their experiences as Third-Culture Kids within the Asian-American diaspora, they create soundscapes that delve into themes of self-discovery, belonging, and community. Their innovative work has been presented by the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, National Gallery of Art, New York Philharmonic, Purdue University, and the Baryshnikov Arts Center, addressing vital topics such as Mental Health, Arts as Civic Engagement, and amplifying AAPI stories.
