Synchromy is a musicians’ collective producing engaging new music events shaped and influenced by our home county of Los Angeles. We prioritize collaboration to present cutting edge music with a multi-disciplinary approach in order to highlight the art, creating an entry point that deepens the audience’s understanding of the music’s intended impact.

Founded in 2010 and focused on Los Angeles-based composers, Synchromy’s purpose is to lift the voices of living composers who show us the beautiful complexity of what it means to be human in today’s world, creating events that allow new audience members to appreciate what they are hearing. We specialize in creating concert-experiences that give the audience new and surprising perspectives into what classical music can be.

Synchromy strives to increase equity by bringing new sounds and ideas to the places where people live, and we do this by offering free performances in public spaces in economically and artistically underserved areas. By upending the concert experience, we remove the financial and transportational barriers to access.

A significant part of our emerging mission is to expand representation in New Music, starting with our internal community of collective and board members. As a corollary, as we come together under the fluctuating genus of New Music, we celebrate the beauty and variety of musicality, theatricality, lineage, content, and formal hijinx that come with building an artistic community across lines of difference. We engage artists who represent BIPOC and other underserved communities. In our 2021-2022 season, our composers and performers were 75% women, 25% men, 52% White, 31% API, 13% Black, and 4% Latinx. Our audiences were 52% women, 48% men, 53% White, 30% API, 5% Black, and 12% Latinx. We are always working on new strategies to make these statistics match Los Angeles’ demographics, and we get closer every year.
