CELINE FERRO | CLARINET

Celine Ferro is a versatile clarinetist and bass clarinetist originally from Rhode Island. She is a graduate of The New England Conservatory of Music, where she received a Bachelor’s degree under the tutelage of Richard Stoltzman, and later a Master’s degree from the Boston University College of Fine Arts, where she studied with Ethan Sloane.

Celine’s on-stage resume is as robust as it is diverse. Her orchestral experience includes performing with the Boston Civic Symphony, Brookline Symphony Orchestra, and the New Hampshire Symphony Orchestra. She has performed in several other New England orchestras and ensembles, as well as orchestra pits in Boston’s theater district and on stage at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

Outside of her orchestral work, Celine is the clarinetist of Boston’s Kalliope Reed Quintet, a member of the all-bass clarinet ensemble Improbable Beasts, the clarinetist/bass clarinetist of the groove ensemble Shibui, and serves in the first clarinet section of local wind ensemble MetWinds.

Celine travels all over the world with her clarinet (and bass clarinet) in hand, most recently to Mexico where she premiered several new commissions with the Kalliope Reed Quintet, and then to Arizona with the Improbable Beasts at the first ever ICA Low Clarinet Festival. Celine is an accomplished clarinet teacher at the Winchester Community Music School in Massachusetts and at Southern New Hampshire University. She has an ever-growing private studio, offering lessons to students of all ages and levels.
