Chameleon are a prize-winning, versatile woodwind ensemble with a mission to Create, Empower, and Share music with audiences far and wide. Their performances feature an impressive array of up to 13 woodwind instruments split between only four members, with the quartet seamlessly transitioning between them to showcase the diversity of the woodwind family. Chameleon are winners of the Royal Philharmonic Society Henderson Award, 2023, and are Live Music Now artists specialising in SEND and primary school engagement. They were recipients of the RPS Enterprise Fund for “Virtually Live” in 2021, a concert series driven by a passion for connecting with their audience through conversation and interaction.

A great concert with excellent texture in all the pieces performed. Each member of the ensemble had a range of solos, complemented wonderfully by the other musicians…. it was obvious that the group enjoy performing together - KTB
