Arcomelos is a chamber ensemble dedicated to the performance of string chamber music from the 17th-century to the present day. Performing on period instruments, Arcomelos was founded by two highly experienced artists in the field, Irmgard Schaller and Richard Gwilt. In the current season (2007/8) Arcomelos is focussing primarily on classical music, in our formation as a string trio with cellist Sibylle Huntgeburth.
 
As for our name, Arco (Italian) bow, melos (Greek) song, melody. Hence Arcomelos, "to sing with the bow", or "the melodious bow" . Also, most certainly not coincidentally, Arcomelo was Arcangelo Corelli's membership name in the Arcadian Academy in Rome.
