Arcadia Players - New England's Period Instrument Ensemble

Meet Our New Artistic Director! 

Arcadia Players embraces 
historical performance 
practice to illuminate 
and invigorate the 
great Western heritage 
of vocal and 
instrumental music.
We’re excited to announce that Andrew Arceci will be Arcadia Players’ new Artistic Director. Arceci is a well-known performer, teacher, composer, and scholar who has appeared with Arcadia Players playing viola da gamba, violone, and double bass. He holds degrees from the Peabody Conservatory, The Juilliard School, and the University of Oxford. He directed the Collegium Musicum at Wellesley College from 2015-2020, and since 2016, has led the Winchendon Music Festival in Winchendon, Massachusetts. He succeeds Ian Watson, who led Arcadia Players for 10 years, departing after the 2018 concert season.

We are delighted that Andrew will be joining us as we move into the new realities and new opportunities of the post-COVID era. We look forward to working with him to continue our long tradition of bringing inspired historically-informed performances of great music to audiences in the Pioneer Valley and beyond.
