Children's Concert: Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston - At Boston Public Library - Hyde Park Branch
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/01/2024
Can music tell a tale? A crafty trickster comes to life, a clarinet woos an uninterested maiden, drums share memories from the Australian outback, and a violin sings a lullaby. Join us for a colorful morning of classical music – especially for kids – that transports us into the narrative, bringing the world of imagination to life with works by Strauss, Piazzolla, Florence Price, Mark O’Connor, and more.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
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.
