Sybarite5, known for its hyper-accurate yet fiercely vivacious performances, is celebrated for its eclectic repertoire that spans from Radiohead to John Coltrane, and from Komitas to Astor Piazzolla. The ensemble, consisting of violinists Sami Merdinian and Suliman Tekalli, violist Caeli Smith, cellist Laura Andrade, and double bassist Louis Levitt, brings an intoxicating mix of passion, grit, and musical ecstasy to the stage. Their groundbreaking approach to music has led them to become the first ensemble of its kind to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild annual competition.

The evening's program, "Collective Wisdom," is inspired by their acclaimed 2023 album and showcases music as a universal language, connecting diverse genres and composers in a dynamic and wide-ranging musical journey.

McMyler Musical Endowment Fund, and the Anton and Rose Zverina Music Fund.
