Performance with Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston
”Beautiful and Epochal”

After having written for BMInt for more than 13 years, and having authored 213 reviews, I continue to count the Chameleon Arts Ensemble among my favorites. This past Sunday at First Church in Boston, they delighted once again.
Pianist Vivian Chang-Freiheit and the superb violinist Francesca DePasquale, who had impressed me the last time I heard her with this ensemble, opened with Nocturne et corte`ge. By Lily Boulanger, the first woman to win the Prix de Rome…DePasquale impressed with cheerful yet commanding stage presence.
Francesca dePasquale and Sarah Rommel delivered Zoltan Kodály’s (1882-1967) rather well-known and virtuosic Duo for violin and cello, Op. 7 (1914) quite spectacularly. Both players worked at the tops of their games and gave captivating accounts of the three powerfully expressive movements.
