Violist, violinist, cello da spallist, and conductor Artie Dibble enjoys a wonderful free-lance musician’s life in New York City. Diverse styles of music have taken him all over the world, from touring with Barbra Streisand, Led Zeppelin, various string quartets and the St. Louis Symphony to right here at home on the major stages of New York City and the surrounding region with orchestras, chamber groups and Broadway stars. He is currently music director for his lovely wife, mezzo-soprano Sishel Claverie, on theater/recital projects, and plays viola with the Leadlights Ensemble, performing hyper-locally to bring community together. He also is a member of the Tonal Refraction Ensemble, exploring pre-cognitive reactions to music. Artie has enjoyed teaching and performing for the Midori Foundation in urban NYC schools and oversees many concerts as the Music Programs Manager for the Bronx Arts Ensemble. Composers Concordance is among his current projects, composing and performing. You can also often find him in recording studios during the day, Broadway show pits in the evenings, feeding his espresso obsession in a cafe, or chasing his son and daughter around the world.
