Of course, every program offers our signature mix of the witty and the sublime, the adventurous and the beloved. It’s sure to be a revelatory season, and I look forward to seeing you at the concerts!

Andrea Clearfield Three Songs After Pablo Neruda for oboe & double bass
Antonin Dvorak Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 87
Prokofiev’s fiendishly kinetic Quintet originated as a ballet that was too difficult to dance, Lutoslawski captured the spirit of Polish folk music, and Dvorak never lost sight of the rhythmic vitality and heartfelt lyricism of his native Bohemia, the song and dance at the root of all music.

Franz Schubert String Trio in B-Flat Major, D. 581
Dan Welcher Florestan’s Falcon for flute & piano
Robert Schumann Piano Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op. 47
One of the most imaginative and mercurial composers of the Romantic era, Robert Schumann embraced the dualities of his own nature, cultivating emotion and intellect, heart and mind. Just as Schumann was inspired by Schubert and the artistry of his wife Clara, his influence carries on, sparking our imaginations and touching our souls.

Leos Janacek Sonata for violin & piano, JW 7/7
Bernard Rands Prelude...sans voix parmi les voix… for flute, viola & harp
Igor Stravinsky Suite from Histoire du Soldat for clarinet, violin & piano
Clint Needham Axioms for flute, clarinet, string trio, piano & percussion
Johannes Brahms Piano Trio No. 2 in C Major, Op. 87
Stories, aphorisms, poems and speech…music begins where words end. Janacek crafts melodies from the pitch and rhythm of the Czech language, Bernard Rands draws us into the distilled, highly-charged world of Samuel Beckett, and Stravinsky spins a dream-like tale of exile and alienation.

Franz Schubert Auf dem Strom for soprano, French horn & piano, D. 943, Op. 119
Maurice Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin for wind quintet
George Crumb Apparition for soprano & piano
George Rochberg Contra Mortem et Tempus for flute, clarinet, violin & piano
Louis Vierne Piano Quintet in c minor, Op. 42 (1917)
Love and loss are at the center of this poignant program, extraordinary works that arose from tragedy: from Schubert’s ode to Beethoven, to George Crumb’s exquisite meditation on the nature of life and death, to Louis Vierne’s epic Piano Quintet, a rarely-heard, late-Romantic masterpiece written in response to the death of his son in World War I.

Chameleons in the Community
www.chameleonarts.org 617-427-8200
Chameleon infuses all of its programs with a public-spirited sensibility through its annual community projects. They are designed to increase the accessibility of classical music and to create connections between the arts and everyday life.
Free Ticket ProgramIn order to increase the accessibility of live chamber music, we donate up to 20% of our seats at each concert for constituents of public service organizations.
Annual Benefit ConcertAs part of a unique model for collaboration between the arts and public service, Chameleon dedicates one concert each season as a benefit for a local public service charity.
Family & Educational ConcertsChameleon’s educational and family programs are designed for children and students ages 6-12 along with their families. They illustrate the ways in which music is connected to our emotions and the world around us, in unforgettable events that children will carry with them for years to come.
Please visit us online at www.chameleonarts.org for more information about these programs.
