Arpeggione has planned an inspiring and ambitious first season to bring Classical and Romantic masterworks out of the concert hall and into intimate spaces on the North Shore. Co-founders Andrea LeBlanc and Thomas Carroll have assembled some of the best historical performance specialists on the east coast and have curated three programs that fulfill our mission of creating an expanded, reimagined, and inclusive musical canon. We have worked with local venues to bring these programs into spaces that will give listeners a sense of the original context of the works we perform, from historic homes to beautiful gardens. Our opening concert, "Planting New Roots", will include works by composers who worked and created art far from their homes. These pieces by Mozart, Chevalier St-George, Reicha, and Crusell, will celebrate the partnerships we have made the in our home on the North Shore as the area's only resident historically informed ensemble. Our winter program will be a salon-inspired concert focused on the works and influence of Anna Amalia of Prussia. The finale of our first season will be "The Eroica Project", which will include the North American premiere on period instruments of Carl Friedrich Eber’s 1817 arrangement for nonet of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 3 “Eroica”. We invite you to help us bring the highest level of chamber music to the North Shore, and be a part of helping us plant these new roots to grow and deepen our connection to North Shore audiences.
