Viennese composers such as Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven experimented with musical forms and techniques to move music in a new direction from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. Arpeggione Ensemble graces the period-appropriate c. 1781 Cabot House with a historically informed performance of works by these musical giants and their Parisian and Bohemian contemporaries.

Arpeggione Ensemble

Founded in 2022 by clarinetist Thomas Carroll and flutist Andrea LeBlanc, Arpeggione is the North Shore’s only resident historically-informed chamber music ensemble. Arpeggione reimagines the concert experience to bring familiar and unknown masterpieces to our audiences in the intimate spaces and stunning landscapes of the North Shore. The ensemble explores a tradition of reinvention, pairing period arrangements of late 18th and 19th century repertoire with more traditional repertoire to create a newly expanded, reexamined, and inclusive musical canon.
