Everything
In Its Right Place
SYBARITE5
had quickly established a reputation for questioning audiences'
perceptions of "What is music?" and "Who
plays what?" Inspired by the alternative band Radiohead,
the Quintet continues to push the boundaries of what is
concert music. Everything In Its Right Place brings
it all full circle in a cohesive showcase of SYBARITE5's
regular playlist, including music by Radiohead, Piazzolla,
Mozart and Brubeck, as well as groundbreaking new compositions
for the group by Jessica Meyer, Shawn Conley,
Dan
Visconti and Andy Akiho, the latter of which whose work
"Revolve" was commissioned with a grant from the
Chamber Music America.

"Expect an experience that will satisfy your inner
rock star and your secret Mozart."
—Arizona Daily Star
“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
"SYBARITE5 is a New York – based 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."
—Strings Magazine
