Concerts for the Curious Mind

A new collective of musicians in the Pacific Northwest, the Filo Rosso Society is dedicated to creating concert experiences that take listeners on a journey of discovery. Possessing an insatiable desire for lifelong learning, founder and multi-genre violinist Elizabeth “Libby” Phelps, aspires to share this passion for curiosity with the greater Seattle area.

The group’s performances follow the threads of ideas that unite seemingly disparate kinds of music from different places. Rather than subscribe to any hierarchy that determines if one kind of music is better than another, the Filo Rosso Society sees all music as an interconnected web that crosses time and national boundaries.

Members of the group are high-level performers with specializations in baroque, jazz, tango, fiddle, and more. Using cultural context and special collaborations, the Filo Rosso Society wants to open the minds and ears of the Seattle community to the recurring ideas in music that unite all of humanity.
