Program
Whatever you can think up, music will follow! Take a trip in your mind’s eye to worlds of fantasy and imagination, far and wide. Head out to the circus, explore the secret life of bees, waltz through a grand ballroom, visit frogs in the Amazon, and dance your way through a Brazilian Carnival with works by Mozart, Prokofiev, Roberto Sierra, and more. After the concert, drum with the Chameleons and try out their instruments.
“Instrument petting zoo”
After the concert, children will be able to handle and play percussion and string instruments as guided by Chameleon’s musicians, and will be encouraged to touch, pluck, bow, and strike.
