Biography

The CHROMOS Tuba Quartet was founded in 2014 with a mission of artistic and educational outreach. Members of CHROMOS are members of the Wisconsin Tuba Quartet and Willson Tuba Quartet, two quartets with ties to John Stevens, Emeritus Professor of Music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The group debuted at John Stevens' Retirement Celebration alongside the UW-Madison Alumni Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble in March 2014. The diverse perspectives and backgrounds each member brings to CHROMOS results in a vitality which is distinctive and dynamic.

CHROMOS, an abbreviation of the plural of chromolithographs, are a product of a process for making multi-color prints; the process became the most successful of several methods of color printing developed in the 19th century. This analogy of color is well-suited to music, particularly the genre of the tuba-euphonium quartet.
