Posted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement
From Hilary Tann’s meditation on ancient Celtic texts to Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ extraordinary Piano Trio, inspired by the people, music, and beauty of the tiny Fair Isle in the remote Shetlands, we give you Chameleon’s own “Idea of North,” a journey through musical landscapes of solitude, spirit, nature and legend. The program also includes works by composers from Northern climes: Sibelius’ Four Pieces for cello and piano, Carl Nielsen’s Wind Quintet, and Edvard Grieg’s Sonata for violin and piano in c minor, Op. 45. Saturday, February 4, 2012, 8 PM and Sunday, February 5, 2012, 3 PM at the Goethe-Institut, 170 Beacon Street, Boston.

About Chameleon Arts Ensemble:
Since its founding in 1998, Chameleon and artistic director Deborah Boldin have earned unqualified praise for integrating old and new repertoire into unexpected chamber music programs that are themselves works of art. This innovative ensemble now draws capacity audiences of those who love the adventure of music – classic and contemporary. A Chameleon concert is a multifaceted experience in an intimate environment joining audience and musicians in an exuberant celebration of music.The Ensemble was recognized nationally with 2009 and 2007 CMA/ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming. The Boston Globe praised Ms. Boldin’s “carefully curated blending of classic and contemporary repertoire,” and remarked, “during intermission, concertgoers could be heard marveling at the program’s breadth and wondering why other groups aren’t as adventurous. Chameleon makes daring seem easy.” The musicians are among Boston’s most highly-respected and sought-after performers, with growing national and international reputations. Their superb artistry and finely honed collaborative skills ensure luminous performances and dynamic musical dialogues.
