Kaleidoscope means "to present the appearance of a brightly colored and constantly changing pattern; to cause to come together or coalesce with pleasing results," and this is precisely what the audience can expect. The short durations of each selection, non-stop nature of the program and contrasting styles of music all combine to make an enjoyable musical evening.
