Carmen Costello: Classical Musician in New York

About Carmen Costello

Carmen Costello is a New York City–based classical performer who appears on club bills as readily as on traditional concert programs, including sets at Arlene’s Grocery. She has shared lineups with Josh Gaba, Jewelry Company, and RMK & Elemental Union, moving between scenes that don’t usually overlap. The work suggests a musician attentive to structure and phrasing, even in informal rooms. Her performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle.
