Choral Chameleon Concert

Choral Chameleon is a dynamic ensemble renowned for their innovative programming and fearless exploration of vocal artistry. Audiences have clamored for their return ever since their choral sound bath event and their concert at Middlebury in 2022. Now Choral Chameleon returns with CONTROL, a program exploring the timeless and complex relationship between parents and children and the eternal push and pull between generations, bound by love yet separated by perspective. Featuring original choral works and arrangements by composers including Bartók, Michael McGlynn, John Corigliano, Duncan Sheik, and Janet Jackson, this evening of choral music examines the deeply nuanced bond between those who raise us and those we raise.

From classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions and cross-disciplinary collaborations, Choral Chameleon’s rich harmonies and adventurous spirit redefine what it means to experience choral music today, captivating audiences with a kaleidoscope of musical experiences and setting a vibrant standard in the world of vocal ensembles.

“A spirited and soulful sounding ensemble”— Westport Journal
