Chamber Music in Historic Landmarks

English cellist Frankie Carr was born into a family of string players.

Since then Frankie has performed at festivals across Europe and North America, including Kneisel Hall, Music from Angel Fire, Four Seasons Chamber Music, Loon Lake Live, Stichting Kamermusiek Amsterdam, YPF Amsterdam, The Menuhin Festival Gstaad, and Greenwood.

Hailed for her "sublime cello prowess" (Take Effect) and "absorbing originality" (Gramophone), internationally acclaimed cellist Arlen Hlusko has performed extensively across North & South Americas, Asia, and Europe. She is "capable of playing with great delicacy but also fearlessness; regardless of the character of the material, she executes it with authority and conviction […] and open-hearted expression is present throughout" (Textura). Arlen has performed solo recitals across 3 continents, is the current Artist-in-Residence at Grace Farms, and cellist of the Bang on a Can All-Stars. She performs with ensembles including The Knights, Dolce Suono Ensemble, and Manhattan Chamber Players, and is a recent alumna of the Curtis Institute of Music and Carnegie Hall's Ensemble Connect. Interested in a wide array of music, Arlen has collaborated closely with artists including Jordi Savall, Midori, Meredith Monk, Jacob Collier, and David Byrne, and is a GRAMMY-award winner for her collaboration with The Crossing. She has performed as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Concert Orchestra, and the Calgary Philharmonic, among others, and has been a regular at chamber music festivals including Spoleto USA, Tippet Rise, Bay Chamber, Rockport Music, and Music from Angel Fire. Committed to connecting with and serving her community through music, Arlen is the founding director of Philadelphia Performances for Autism, and is involved with numerous communities, including Carnegie Hall's "Musical Connections" at Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
