From the first concerts or 'musicales', in private homes to the concert series of today, the aim of Troy Chromatic Concerts has been to bring musical programs of the highest caliber for the enjoyment of local audiences. Organized in 1894 by students of Troy music teacher J. Albert Jeffery, and led by David Cowee, Jr., The Chromatic Club presented its first concert in February of 1895 featuring world renown artist Edward A. MacDowell. It was an enormous success and inspired the continuing commitment of 'Chromatics' to present the finest artists of their time.

A list of Chromatics' Board of Directors is available here.
