Chelsey Green
About Chelsey:
With performances often described as passionate, vivacious, electrifying, and innovative,
Billboard-charting international recording artist Chelsey Green brings the vibrancy of
violin and viola playing and unique, rich vocals to worldwide audiences in a whole new
way.
A native of Houston, Texas, Dr. Chelsey Green was born into a family of jazz and funk
musicians and started her performance career as a violinist at age 5. Though inundated
with music of all genres, she focused on classical music studying both privately and
publicly at performing arts schools in the Houston public school system.
Dr. Green went on to receive a scholarship for classical viola studies at The University
of Texas at Austin where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Dr. Green then went on to
receive her Master’s degree in Viola Performance from The Peabody Conservatory of
The Johns Hopkins University and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of
Maryland College Park. Most recently, Dr. Green has been appointed Associate Professor
in the String Department at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Dr. Chelsey Green and her ensemble, The Green Project, tear down all stereotypes of
the violin and viola by fusing traditional classical technique with popular favorites and
enticing original songs in various genres- including R&B, Pop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Alternative,
Hip Hop, Gospel and more!
Classically soloing in New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall at age 16, Chelsey Green and
The Green Project have been honored to perform in many highly regarded venues around
the world. Green’s varied performance resume includes performances at the CBS Late
Show with David Letterman, the Theater at Madison Square Garden, the opening of The
Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Essence Music
Festival, Bahrain Spring of Culture Festival, Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival, Kuwaiti National
Opera House, The John F. Kennedy Center and more! Recently, Chelsey was awarded
Montgomery County (Maryland) Executive’s Award “"Outstanding Artist Award” and
featured in a nationally syndicated Walmart commercial produced by BET Networks that
premiered during the 2017 Soul Train Awards.
