About the Artists:
Arco is a conductor-less string ensemble with a mission of bringing diverse and dynamic programs to audiences in the greater Washington D.C. community. Many of Arco's concerts happen outside of the traditional concert hall, in venues including parks, breweries, and rooftops. Dedicated to programming works written by people who have been historically marginalized in classical music, Arco features music by women and people of color alongside standards from the repertoire. Arco's recent partnering organizations include the MetLife Insurance Sustainability Team, the Downtown D.C. Business Improvement District, the Riverdale Park Arts Association, Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, and D.C.'s Union Market.
Wearing a mask is required inside.
