This concert explores music inspired by depictions of the sea, featuring artistic movements from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The program draws inspiration from East Coast–London–Paris artistic talents, including American artists Winslow Homer, Thomas Moran, and James McNeill Whistler—all represented in the CoastLines: American Prints and Drawings exhibition. Camden Archambeau (cello) and Umi Garrett (piano) play four compositions dedicated to the East Coast trade routes through London and Paris.
Camden Archambeau is a cellist and conductor based in New York City. Recent appearances include concerts at Carnegie Hall, Jordan Hall, Steinway Hall, the Neue Galerie, and Millbrook Music Salon. He has presented recital series at the Metropolitan Opera Club and the Signet Society. Archambeau was a finalist in the 2025 Juilliard Cello Concerto Competition, performing Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante in Paul Hall. He has also served as Principal Cellist of the Juilliard Orchestra, New York String Orchestra, and Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra, and has been active with the Charleston Symphony and New York Classical Players. He plays on a Becker cello on generous loan from the Colburn Foundation.
