Sybarite 5
$20/$15 - Allred Theater
New chamber by young, classically trained musicians working
across genres. “Their rock star status.. is well deserved. Their classically
honed technique mixed with grit and all out passionate attack transfixed the
audience…” That is how the Sarasota Herald Tribune described SYBARITE5, the
first string quintet ever selected as winners of Concert Artists Guild
International Competition in its 60 year history. Comprised of Sami Merdinian
and Sarah Whitney, violins; Angela Pickett, viola; Laura Metcalf, cello, and
Louis Levitt, bass, SYBARITE5 has taken audiences by storm, changing the
perception of chamber music performance.
From Mozart to Radiohead, Sybarite5’s eclectic repertoire
and dynamic performance style is turning heads throughout the music world:
“…that impassioned playing, those hard-driving rhythms, the blissed-out faces
of the mostly young audience…Genuine, spontaneous…excitement” (The Washington
Post).
