NEW YORK CITY | SINCE 2013
A chamber music ensemble driven by multidisciplinary interaction
CreArtBox is a New York–based chamber music and multimedia ensemble directed by flutist Guillermo Laporta and pianist Josefina Urraca, with core members Emilie-Anne Gendron, Matthew Cohen, and Julia Yang. Praised by The New Yorker andTime Out, the ensemble creates immersive performances that blend classical and contemporary music with design and visual art. With a NYC concert series, national and international touring, and a composer residency program, CreArtBox also produces original theatrical works and co-produces Festival ADAR in Asturias, Spain, dedicated to rural revitalization through music and creation.
Season 2025/26
Our new season grows out of the music that inspire us. We’ll share chamber works we hold close, pair them with bold visual ideas, and create moments where performers and audiences can connect more directly. Join us this season and be part of the experience.
