The Grammy Award–winning Attacca Quartet performs an extraordinary program that features music by 2024–2025 Debs Composer’s Chair Gabriela Ortiz, one of the world’s leading composers today. It includes the world premiere of a string quartet composed for the Attacca (co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall), as well as Ortiz’s acclaimed, four-movement celebration of Mexico’s Day of the Dead festivities: Altar de muertos, originally commissioned by Kronos Quartet—whose cellist, Paul Wiancko, composed the final piece of the program. “If Haydn were alive to write a string quartet today, it may sound something like Paul Wiancko’s LIFT” (NPR).

For the ninth year of PIVOT, guest curator Gabriel Kahane and friends dig deep into music that asks enduring and enlightening questions about our ever-changing world and seeks the uplift of answers rooted in shared experience. Gabriel Kahane is a musician and storyteller whose work exists at the intersection of art and social practice, and “his music is suffused with idiosyncratic, enriched tonal harmony…he is one of the finest, most searching songwriters of the day” (The New Yorker). “We’re living in a golden age of string quartets…It’s hard to disagree when you hear the vibrant young players in New York’s Attacca Quartet” (NPR). Grammy-winning vocal band Roomful of Teeth can seemingly make anything cool, “From death metal to throat singing to alpine yodeling, the experimental group is changing what it means to harmonize” (The New Yorker).
