The Chromic Duo

At 7:30 pm on Wednesday, Apr 5, the Bullock Series at Western Michigan University will present the Chromic Duo. They are two classically trained pianists who veered off the beaten path: Lucy Yao, a WMU alumna, and Dorothy Chan.
Their music blends toy piano, electronics, and multimedia as well as spoken word and narrative elements that can originate spontaneously or by design. They also love to adapt music by their favorite musicians and give it the “Chromic treatment.” Yao and Chan spoke with Cara Lieurance about tonight’s program, which will be held in the Dalton Center Recital Hall.

Cara Lieurance is the local host of NPR's All Things Considered on 1021 WMUK and covers local arts & culture on Let's Hear It on 89.9 Classical WMUK weekday mornings at 10 - 11 am.
