Musicians Reimagining the Future of Chamber Music

When harpist-composer Renée Qin and violinist Ania Filochowska first met at Stanford University, it wasn’t in a rehearsal room but through a computer science project exploring how technology could foster social impact.

Their connection deepened through a shared Curtis lineage: Ania as a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, and Renée through the Curtis Summerfest program that had catalyzed her early musical growth.

From those intersecting paths emerged a friendship and artistic partnership grounded in curiosity, merging classical discipline with a spirit of innovation.

Together, they now create performances that invite audiences into a luminous world of dialogue between harp, violin, technology, and imagination.

The convergence of art, technology, and audience participation

Initiated by Renée Qin, Sound Palette unites classical instruments, interactive technology, and live visuals within a concert setting.

Each performance transforms the stage into an immersive environment, interweaving music, audience interaction, and imagery shaped by the storytelling within each composition. Through custom computer-vision systems, interactive media, and live audio processing, the work unveils new dimensions of color and resonance between acoustic instruments.

Co-created with violinist Ania Filochowska, the project extends the tradition of chamber music into the language of contemporary media art—inviting audiences not only to listen, but to become part of the creative dialogue.
