We are pleased to introduce you to Canta Libre, a wonderfully unique chamber ensemble consisting of harp, flute, strings and clarinet.   This combination of instruments was extremely popular with French composers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and as such, Canta Libre specializes in a repertoire niche which truly brings the music and cultural atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Paris to audiences in the twenty-first century. 

Literally translated, "Canta Libre" means to sing freely; that is precisely what this dedicated ensemble of musicians does with its repertoire of ravishing, arresting music that perfectly expresses the human passions, desires and feelings found beyond the realm of words.  

Founded in 2002, the group has shared its magic with audiences from Chicago to Southhampton and has received such positive accolades as "completely enchanting" and "compelling sensitivity with stunning virtuosity" from appreciative audiences and music critics.   Recent performance venues have included the Music Festival of the Hamptons, Concerts at Trinity Church, Barge Music, the Salmagundi Art Club, as well as additional performances in Connecticut, Westchester County and on Long Island.  Canta Libre was also recently featured on WLIW Channel 21 TV.

 Canta Libre's skilled musicians received their training at some of the finest conservatories in the world, including The Julliard School, New England Conservatory,  the Peabody Institute, and the Moscow Conservatory.    They have performed at major music festivals in Aspen, Spoleto and Tanglewood and now, as members of Canta Libre, are poised to bring their celebrated performances of string quartets, trios for harp, flute and viola, as well as their lavish interpretation of French chamber music, to your community.
