About Chameleon's Education Program:
Chameleon's series of Education and Family Concerts takes place at Forsyth Chapel at historic Forest Hills Cemetery. Over the past 6 years, the program has become a highlight of our community-based projects each spring.

Our programs are designed to actively connect music with our world, our lives and our emotions, rather than simply introducing kids to Mozart, Beethoven and the classical historical context. We challenge them to find something personal in the music - how it makes them feel - rather than simply tell them how or when it was written - and connect them to the process of creating and enjoying music.

The interactive performances are presented in collaboration with the Forest Hills Educational Trust (FHET) and include three (one public and two school) hour-long concerts along with instrument demonstrations. New for 2009 is a series of in-class workshops for Boston Public School students in grades 3-5.
