Simone Baron & Arco Belo

Simone Baron & Arco Belo bring their circus-adjacent genre-fluid chamber jazz to The Fruit, weaving projections, surreal storytelling, and new original compositions into an immersive performance blurring lines between concert and dreamscape.

ARCO BELO is a group of high-energy improvisers dedicated to redefining the concert form. Drawing its name from the words bow and bellow, the ensemble captures an irreverent sound melding reeds, strings, and percussive timbres. Led by pianist, accordionist, and composer Simone Baron, their adventurous compositions reimagine a sound at the junction of avant-garde chamber music, creative jazz, Brazilian music, and diasporic music. Together, they skip effortlessly from long-form neo-baroque string counterpoint to sludgy hip-hop pads. Post-romantic cadenzas collide in moments of spontaneous noise with reedy prepared piano; guttural bow noises and cascading plectrum bring color to plush hypnotic grooves and sharply angled linear phrases.
