ON SET
CREATIVE PARTNER, 2015–2018
Opera Omaha Galas
Over three galas across four years, Peabody and Chromatic served as a returning creative partner to Opera Omaha, building fundraising events that moved well beyond a seated dinner — programming that ran from a duet performed on the dining table itself to watercolor imagery projected across sheer drapery to transform the room.
The relationship's longevity speaks to what the work was designed to do: give donors and civic leaders an evening striking enough to be remembered, and an institution confident enough in the result to invite it back.

CURATION & PRODUCTION
San Francisco Symphony, Soundbox
For SF Symphony's Soundbox — the orchestra's experimental performance space for new and unconventional programming — Peabody curated and produced a more intimate performance-art event with Chromatic, built around live composition, flowers, and food staged directly on open tables rather than a traditional proscenium. A different register of the same skill set: designing an experience precise enough to hold an audience without the scale of a full gala.
