Billboard charting recording artist Chelsey Green creates a whole new way to bring the unmatched richness and vibrancy of the violin and viola to audiences. Her vision of an ensemble that uses live string performance to enhance current popular music becomes a reality with The Green Project.

A classically trained musician who made her Carnegie Hall debut at age 16, Green incorporates standard classical music principles with performance of original tunes, re-identifying popular favorites in genres such as soul, jazz, funk and rock. Named an Artist-in-Residence at The Music Center at Strathmore in 2010, Green has shared the stage with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Denyce Graves and Chrisette Michele. Green is also a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland College Park.
