Why an Italian concertmaster if this is a New York-based ensemble?

You are not alone if you have been wondering why Hudson Baroque has a London-based, Italian violinist as its concertmaster. Apart from Simone’s unrivaled talent, and impressive accolades, the answer is quite simple:

We believe it is a small world, and that there is absolutely no reason why internationally acclaimed artists should be limited to performing in major cities.

In November of 2024, Simone visited Suriname, a small country on the north-east coast of South America, as a violinist with Holland Baroque. The orchestra spent a week there, doing educational out-reach and making music alongside the students at The School for Young Talent in Paramaribo. The initiative was inspiring and uplifting for everyone involved.

These types of intercontinental partnerships and cultural exchanges are what we at Hudson Baroque strive to cultivate.

By inviting artists from New York City, and beyond, to visit the Hudson Valley, we are participating in a fellowship that goes beyond our immediate circle—and what better way to connect than through music and camaraderie.

Does Hudson Baroque host other ensembles?

We hope to continue to extend invitations not only to the musicians on our roster, but to like-minded ensembles that share our vision. We look forward to creating memorable experiences together.

How much do tickets cost?

In an effort to make our concerts accessible to all, we will always offer our concerts and community program for free.
