Chelsey Green and The Green Project

Described as „passionate, electrifying, and innovative,“ international recording artist Chelsey Green breaks down stereotypes of traditional violin and viola playing. A native of Houston, Texas, Dr. Chelsey Green is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, entrepreneur and educator that combines classical and contemporary to make music uniquely her own.

Chelsey Green and The Green Project have released five studio projects, debuted on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz (Top 30), iTunes Jazz charts (Top 5) and performed live shows, jazz festivals and educational workshops around the world; including shows throughout the United States, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Japan, Haiti and more.

A few performance highlights include the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards with Lizzo, Songs In The Key Of Life Tour (D.C.) with Stevie Wonder, Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival with jazz violinist Regina Carter, the Essence Music Festival with MC Lyte, a Library of Congress commission premier with jazz icon Charles Lloyd, NPR Tiny Desk with Maimouna Youssef and Wu-Tang Clan, the Boston Pops with Rhiannon Giddens, a feature TGP ensemble debut with The National Symphony Orchestra and a nationally syndicated Walmart commercial produced by BET Networks appearing alongside Kirk Franklin and Estelle.

Dr. Green maintains an active performance and recording schedule while also teaching full time as an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music. Committed to advocacy as well, Chelsey also serves as a Trustee on the National Board of The Recording Academy (The GRAMMYs).

Chelsey Green and The Green Project also devote time to providing a wide range of educational music workshops to city and county schools, after school programs and various educational entities to illustrate the magical power jazz and contemporary music can have in all lives.
