Musicologist Stephen Loikith received his Bachelor Degrees from Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA, and his Master Degree from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. As a historian, he focuses on the music of Colonial New England, as well as the music of Salvatore Arnò. He has organized concerts featuring the music heard by Colonists from when they first settled in Massachusetts through our fight for independence from Britain for historical societies all around the state. His work in resurrecting the music of Arnò was recently featured in a performance in August, 2019, of selections from Arnò’s operetta Fuochi di Carnevale by the Ocean City Pops Orchestra in Ocean City, NJ. Additionally, Loikith is an active French horn player, and performs with orchestras and chamber ensembles around the Greater Boston area.
