Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

BIO

Chloe DeSteno is an American composer and soprano. She is currently studying composition with Stephen Halloran and voice with Junko Watanabe. She is also an accomplished pianist. A synesthete, Chloe sees sound as color and uses music to paint what she sees. She has performed many of her own songs, and writes for all instruments, including voice. Her most recent works have included a piano trio for the Rivers School Conservatory's Seminar on Contemporary Music and a string quartet performed as part of the summer program at Boston Conservatory at Berklee.
