About the Caramoor Virtuosi
The Caramoor Virtuosi joyously embody the musical spirit of Caramoor, fostering the intimacy and immediacy of chamber music, cultivating collaborative music-making, and creatively engaging audiences in the shared excitement of musical performance.
Formed in 1999, they are a fellowship of adventurous musicians who trained at Caramoor as young artists, have since built successful professional careers, and now return to Caramoor throughout the year for performances and residency activities. Led by cellist Edward Arron, Artistic Director of the Caramoor Virtuosi, this extraordinarily accomplished group of artists seeks to expand the chamber concert experience with diverse, challenging, and engaging programming. Virtuosi concerts are enhanced by the unique atmosphere of camaraderie, fun, and fulfillment that has evolved through long personal and musical relationships, while the inclusion of young graduates of the Rising Stars program assures that the great collective performance tradition, nurtured at Caramoor, is handed on to each generation.

| According to Edward Arron, Artistic Director of the Caramoor Virtuosi, “Each Caramoor experience is memorable. The musicians establish relationships, even if only for a week, and a chemistry develops. Caramoor is unique in that the Rising Stars and Virtuosi programs have created an association among musicians that’s especially long lasting. The number of musicians who consider Caramoor to be their musical home grows each year. Each year we see familiar faces combined with newer talents; each year the combination changes, creating a different chemistry every season.”
