About the Program:
RITE ON TIME — In today’s turbulent modern world, we need to come together more. Diversity is a strength, and SYBARITE5 is known for bridging genre gaps to bring unexpected musical combinations together to create unique and dynamic concert experiences. SYBARITE5 brings this concept full circle and performs music with roots in classical, rock, jazz, Armenian folk, and more.
Expect works from John Coltrane, Radiohead, Xavier Foley, Komitas, The Punch Brothers, Pedro Giraudo, Marc Mellits, Jessica Meyer, Kenji Bunch, Shawn Conley, Daniel Bernard Roumain, Astor Piazzolla, and Aleksandra Vrebalov, to name a few.
SYBARITE5 is an intoxicating cocktail of post-genre musical goodness expressed through the virtuosity of violinists Sami Merdinian & Suliman Tekalli; violist Caeli Smith; cellist Laura Andrade; and double bassist Louis Levitt. It’s the first ensemble of its kind to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild competition and the group is constantly evolving, defying categorization, and keeping audiences on their toes.
Dubbed “the millennial Kronos” (Theater Jones), SYBARITE5 is chamber music’s most dynamic ensemble taking listeners on a musical journey of staggering breadth and depth with new works by living composers, as well as the group’s favorites.
Join us to hear “the range of their eclecticism… the depth of their repertoire.“
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
