Calliope's Call

Calliope’s Call is a New England-based arts organization dedicated to the performance of classical and contemporary art song for the cultural enrichment of our community and beyond. Our mission is threefold:

• To showcase the vast genre of art song by programming music of traditional classical and living contemporary composers. Our diverse programming demonstrates our commitment to including works by composers who are otherwise overlooked by more mainstream classical music programs, including female composers, minority composers and composers of color, and pre-professional or student composers;
• To grant performance opportunities to professional singers and instrumentalists who share a common passion for the performance of art song;
• To provide access to live classical music performance for audiences who may not otherwise have the opportunity to do so, such as students and seniors, low-income communities, and incarcerated men and women. At the heart of Calliope’s Call is a desire to instill an appreciation and love for art song in our community. We create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere for our audiences to have an enriching and personal concert-going experience.
