1st Member Dinner of 2018 Features New Take on Classical

ARCOVOCE

ArcoVoce is a chamber group made up of some of the East Coast’s most acclaimed performers on both modern and period instruments. ArcoVoce, whose name translates loosely from the Italian for strings and voice, may be unique in specializing in performances on both sets of instruments, as well as in including vocal chamber music as an integral part of its performances. ArcoVoce has performed in prestigious venues including Washington D.C.’s Phillips Collection and Corcoran Galleries, the German and Dutch Embassies, the Boston Early Music Festival, and Alexandria Virginia’s Lyceum. ArcoVoce’s repeated performances at the Phillips Collection have earned it status as a resident chamber ensemble of the gallery. Among the notable guest artists who have appeared with ArcoVoce are the celebrated baroque violinist Elisabeth Wallfisch, principal cellist of Musica Antique Koln Phoebe Carrai, and longtime principal clarinettist of the Cleveland Orchestra Franklin Cohen.

ArcoVoce juxtaposes music from different eras because they believe that while the artistic language chosen by composers may differ, the underlying human truths expressed remain constant and discernable. Linking seemingly disparate music reveals unexpected congruities and synergies. Examples of ArcoVoce’s innovative programming include pairing music of Hildegard von Bingen and Olivier Messian, music stemming from the same Catholic mystic tradition notwithstanding the eight plus centuries between composers. The Washington Post said of ArcoVoce: “The performances were skilled and dedicated, wonderfully expressive... It is very rare to hear a single ensemble performing so well in such different kinds of music.”

Reservation required by 5 p.m. the day before.
