    deb@chameleonarts.org:  What does purple sound like? In the same way that artists create scenes with shapes and colors, composers paint pictures with sound. Join the Chameleon Arts Ensemble for a colorful, creative afternoon of classical music – especially for kids – with works by Beethoven, Manuel de Falla, Joan Tower, and more. An instrument “Petting Zoo” will follow the performance. Kids will be able to handle and play orchestral instruments, and will be encouraged to touch, blow, pluck, bow, and strike.
