Acclaim:

"SYBARITE5 was formed at Aspen and has become part of Aspen's fabric and history. Their fresh approach to classics and their bold approach to new repertoire represent an ideal of what we strive for in Aspen. Their extraordinary ability to communicate makes them persuasive advocates for an exciting future of music, crossing boundaries while always remaining true to classical music's sources."

-Alan Fletcher, President and CEO of the Aspen music Festival

"SYBARITE5 ia a group of gifted young string musicians who have gained a reputation for juxtaposing the likes of Stravinsky with Radiohead, or Dvorák with Led Zeppelin. But that doesn't even begin to describe the range of their eclecticism or the depth of their repertoire."
- Greg Cahill, Strings Magazine

“A fresh new breeze has blown through the staid chamber music world of Sarasota with SYBARITE5 playing to a whooping audience in a freshly transformed Holley Hall Saturday night...The Rebel,” a commissioned work by Piotr Szewczyk, presented a pungent, punctuated energy with a sense of rhythmic restlessness. [SYBARITE5] played with animation and pluck...their quintet arrangement of Barber’s famous Adagio was heartfelt and extraordinarily riveting…most of us were blown away by Paul Kim’s imaginative arrangements of songs by the alternative rock band Radiohead. ...Their performance was both eye and ear candy - absolutely fascinating...Dan Visconti’s “Black Bend,” also a commissioned work, turned the ensemble into an electric blues guitar with a deep sense of soul…Bottom line: it was simply an exhilarating evening”
-Gayle Williams, Sarasota Herald Tribune

“I don’t think I’ve ever walked away so excited about chamber music…Basically, this group really rocks out…Such a wonderful concert should be a yearly affair. The buzz after last week’s concert was that it very well might be.”
- January Holmes, The Bradenton Herald

"SYBARITE5 filled the morning air with beautiful music" - CBS Broadcasting Network

"Sybarite has several aspects going for it: one is the instrumentation; second is the musicians' youthful passion for the music they play, whatever the genre; and third is the commitment in connecting with their audience, regardless of age-an exceptional
group!" - Deborah Barnekow, Director of Educational Outreach, Aspen Music Festival & School
