Where does music come from? Composers are inspired by many sources: stories, songs, people, places, spiders, coyotes, and even other music. Join the Chameleons for a colorful morning of classical music exploring the creative muse and the place where imagination and ideas meet.
An “instrument petting zoo” will follow the concert. Kids will be able to handle and play percussion, violin, viola, cello, and double bass as guided by Chameleon’s musicians, and will be encouraged to touch, pluck, bow, and strike.
"During intermission, concertgoers could be hear marveling at the program's breadth and wondering why other groups aren't as adventurous. Chameleon makes daring seem easy."
— The Boston Globe
