Consequential Dissonance Of A Juxtaposition

Chloe Clarke Smith (2003) is a composer-pianist from Baltimore, MD. Her music explores ethereal atmospheres with an emphasis on shaping a musical narrative by processing the expansiveness of human emotions.

During her studies, Chloe has composed for a variety of new music ensembles including andPlay, Yarn/Wire, Quartet Iris, Splinter Reeds, Relâche Ensemble, Departure Duo, The Ringers, and Sound Icon. Her endeavors for the future include immersing herself in the study of ethnomusicology, exposing the music of BIPOC composers, and further experimenting with stretching the boundaries of consonance and dissonance in her own music.
She has performed in the Maryland Arts Education Festival and competed in a variety of piano competitions throughout her high school education. During her senior year in high school, Chloe has written for the ensemble andPlay. During her freshman year of undergraduate studies, she has composed for the new music ensemble Yarn/Wire, Quartet Iris, and Splinter Reeds.
