Biography
Formed
in October 2016, Chameleon is a group of musicians who met at the RNCM in
Manchester. United by their ability to double/triple, they formed a group where
each member performs on multiple instruments, often within the same piece.

As there
is no existing repertoire for Chameleon, we do our own arrangements (though we
would love to collaborate with orchestrators/arrangers/composers for future
projects!). This means we can push the boundaries of typical wind ensembles,
and can experiment with new combinations of wind instruments.
We base
our set-up on a traditional wind quintet, replacing French Horn with Saxophone,
and each member is principally one of the other four instruments - Flute, Oboe,
Clarinet and Bassoon. Our unique range of doubling instruments also means we
can transform from a wind quintet to a sax group during a piece.
We have
a keen interest in performance and outreach, bringing our music to other people
in both the concert hall and in the community.
