MUSIC

Chameleon opens its 2011-2012 season with reverence, light, and three genuine blockbusters: Christopher Rouse's luminous tribute to Rome, filled with the sound of the great city's bells, Barber's setting of the private reflections of Medieval Irish monks who speak in surprisingly modern terms about their lives, and the crowning masterpiece of Beethoven's piano trios.

with guest artist Janna Baty, mezzo-soprano

Program:
Samuel Barber, Hermit Songs for mezzo-soprano & piano
Christopher Rouse, Compline for flute, clarinet, harp & string quartet
