PRESS QUOTES:

“In a program of serial high points, there were too many to mention.”

— Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post

***“The selections span more than a century, but all are marked by the same spirit of inquisitiveness and discovery that make it impossible to look away – or to leave bored.”***

***“I love the energy of these performances by the New York string quintet, which presents its first new studio album in years. It was worth the wait...”***

***Collective Wisdom debuts at #1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart.***

“Roll over Beethoven tell Tchaikovsky the news.”

“Sybarite5 has assembled a fascinating collection of pieces that defy labeling. The group stylishly plays music the ranges from folk inflected tunes to instrumental works that embrace Latino and jazz roots. It does so with impeccable musicianship, technical prowess, and impassioned musicality.”

**“Rhythmic energy was a driving force throughout Sybarite 5’s programme, presented by Death of Classical in the Crypt at the Church of the Intercession”**

**The Strad - Video Premiere of *Movement and Location* from Collective Wisdom**

“virtuosic talent with a risk-taking and original vision...”

— Doug Simpson, Audiophile Audition magazine

“The title may strike lovers of the eclectic as somewhat misleading, given the album’s steady focus on post-minimal styles. However, anyone with a taste for crisp playing and next-level ensemble coordination will find something to love on this record–it is itself an outlier.”

**”Based in New York, their brash and vibrant style is a reflection of their home city and, in particular, the Cell Theatre, where these live recordings of works written for them were made.”**

**“This is an engaging portfolio of Sybarite5’s recordings, a compilation that reflects well on their instrumental finesse, corporate understanding and expansion of the contemporary repertoire.”**

— New York Music Daily

“[SYBARITE5] excelled at the exquisite... [they played] with relish, a sense of comfort, and a frisson of missionary zeal.”

— Anne Midgette, The Washington Post

“Their rock star status... is well deserved... Their classically honed technique mixed with grit and all out passionate attack transfixes the audience, whether on Piotr Szewczyk’s “The Rebel” or Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes.”

— Sarasota Herald Tribune
