Mission & History

Founded in 1998, Chameleon has distinguished itself as one of the finest and most versatile chamber ensembles in Boston. To date, Chameleon has produced more than 60 concerts, performing nearly 226 different works by 120 different composers, having earned us our reputation for innovative programming as well as praise for "…another evening of smart, zealous music-making by the young and ambitious Chameleon Arts Ensemble, took its auditors on an amazing journey." (The Boston Globe). The name Chameleon derives from this very versatility - a key element of our mission - to perform a wide range of repertoire, from the Classical to the most contemporary, from the best-known standards to brand-new and lesser-known works. This programming stance and the distinctive thematic concepts that tie the programs together have earned Chameleon a unique place among Boston's chamber music ensembles and attracted audiences who love not just contemporary music, or the standard chamber music repertoire, but who come to hear a diverse and balanced program of music in a satisfying and enriching evening.

Artistic Director Deborah Boldin has earned unanimous and unqualified praise for her inventive and inspired programs. She brings a vast knowledge of the chamber music repertoire, a passion and dedication to contemporary music, and a unique sensibility for the unusual combinations of musical selections that make up Chameleon's unparalleled programs. The Boston Globe praised her for "knowing what goes with what on a program…the Chameleon Arts Ensemble didn't make a single wrong move." Bay Windows hails "While interesting music programming abounds in Boston, the creative energy of the Chameleon Arts Ensemble offers a range in repertoire that many of the long-established groups should learn from. Artistic Director Deborah Boldin continues to find a path of adventure and excitement for her group of impressive musicians."
