Chameleons in the Community

Spring 2008 FAMILY CONCERT:

Sunday, June 1 @ 2 pm
at historic Forsyth Chapel at Forest Hills Cemetery.

Can music tell a tale? In a delightful concert for children and adults, a lilting melody brings a crafty trickster to life, drums send messages to neighbors in an African village, and a clarinet and bassoon have a conversation.

During the concert, drum with the Chameleons. After the performance, join the musicians and try out their instruments.

TICKETS: Adults $10, Kids FREE

About Chameleon's Education Program:

Now in it's fifth year, Chameleon's series of Education and Family Concerts at the Forsyth Chapel at historic Forest Hills Cemetery has become a highlight of our community programs each spring. 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.

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.
