Quotes & Highlights

  • "Competition for new groups is vicious in the city, but the Chameleon Arts Ensemble has found a loyal audience through its fanciful programs and superb playing."  --Chamber Music Magazine

Description

Musicians speak of color almost as much as painters, and Ravel’s vivid palette has been an inspiration to nearly every composer since. Steven Stucky invokes the great colorist Paul Klee, and Kaija Saariaho’s spectral analysis of sound has led her to develop a unique, rigorous musical idiom that is undeniably sensual, eloquent and lyrical.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 

Trio for clarinet, viola & piano, K. 498 “Kegelstatt”
