Who We Are
Arts MetroWest Inc. was founded in 2012 by Leonardo Ciampa to promote cultural events throughout the MetroWest region of Massachusetts (Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Marlborough, Natick, Southborough, Wayland, Wellesley, Weston). Mr. Ciampa has a long and successful track record of organizing exciting events (including the acclaimed American debut of Italian tenor Vittorio Marciano in 1996). From 2009 to 2016, Ciampa was artistic director of organ concerts at MIT, where he brought in some of the finest American and European organists (of the caliber of Vienna’s Peter Planyavsky and England’s David Briggs). From 2012 to 2017, Arts MetroWest sponsored many remarkable concerts with the MetroWest Choral Artists, a 14-member all-professional vocal ensemble of which Ciampa was the founding director. The group performed a wide variety of repertoire from the Renaissance to the current day. Memorable performances included Mascagni's L'amico Fritz (the complete opera in concert form), Poulenc's Gloria, and a concert devoted exclusively to Ciampa's own compositions. However, Arts MetroWest has not limited itself to sponsoring choral programs. On September 28, 2014, Ciampa brought international concert organist Andrea Toschi from Italy to perform an organ recital at St. Andrew’s Church in Wellesley. Ciampa's main goal was and is a very simple one: to present great music with great musicians.
Arts MetroWest, Inc., is a corporation in good standing with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 501(c)(3) status is pending.
