CreArtBox

CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUP
MULTIMEDIA DESIGN | MULTIDISCIPLINARY INTERACTION

CreArtBox’s mission is to engage audiences by presenting performances of new music written by emerging and established living composers as well as classical music from the 17th century onward, alongside innovative visual and performance designs (set, light, & projection).

CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUP

CreArtBox is a New York-based music ensemble founded by flutist and composer, Guillermo Laporta, and pianist Josefina Urraca. The group has been performing since 2013 at leading venues in New York as well as around the US and Europe, presenting new music & traditional classical repertoire, sometimes on an intimate traditional chamber music concert setup and sometimes developing full scale multidisciplinary productions incorporating innovative visual and multimedia designs (set, light, & projection).
