    The whole thing is written like marketing blurb, not an encyclopaedia article. Your job as the author is to describe the event, in boringly factual and neutral terms, not to 'sell' it. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Inspired by its Chelsea roots, the Chelsea Music Festival programs span musical genres ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz with a special emphasis on Festival commissions by composers whose works are not in the traditional western canon. In addition to its on-the-ground programming, the Festival hosts an online library of recordings of unique interpretations of classical, jazz, and contemporary works via videos of performances and dialogues.

The 2024 program[1] titled "Connecting the Dots"[2] features Baritone Daniel Gutmann and pianist Maximilian Kromer, Soprano Marisa Karchin, pianist Robert Fleitz and the Harlem Quartet, with a solo art exhibit at High Line Nine featuring 2024 Visual Artist-in-Residence Kelly S. Williams.

Since 2010, the Chelsea Music Festival has specialized in presenting chamber music in non-traditional concert spaces such as art galleries, public squares, schools, and churches. Artists, such as Iranian-Canadian composer and pianist Iman Habibi,[3] Rogério Boccato,[4] and chefs such as Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel[5] come from around the world and around the corner for nearly two weeks of programming that include concerts, lectures, exhibitions, family events, curated culinary receptions and free outreach performances. In 2020, the Chelsea Music Festival inaugurated its Online Encores[6] and Online Originals[7]YouTube series; Online Encores presents highlights from their Festival archives while Online Originals presents new and never-before-seen performances and recordings.

Chelsea Music Festival gives emerging voices, particularly those of women and people of color, a stage and is working to build an audience and intimate community to support a new generation of musicians, composers, and artists.
