Program
Rhythm is the heart of music… It makes you sway to the beat, tap your toes, and your spirit soar! Join us for a morning of adventure and discovery – specially for kids – with chamber music inspired by dancing, clapping, walking, talking, and flying.
“Instrument petting zoo:”
After the concert, children 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.
