As co-founder and co-director of Arpeggione Ensemble (Beverly, MA), Andrea is passionate about creating accessible, immersive community experiences. Equally at home on the concert stage or in schools, libraries, and senior centers, her projects invite audiences to listen with all their senses and take part in the experience.

Performing on flutes with a long memory, she breathes artistry and expression into instruments from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods to the present day. Andrea holds degrees from New England Conservatory and the University of Massachusetts Amherst and pursued further study of the traverso at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. When she is not performing or chasing after her two children, she makes useful and beautiful things out of fabric and yarn. Her first children’s book, “Shoebert’s Unfinished Journey,” with original watercolor illustrations, is available from Arpeggione Press.
