Chamber Music Concert – Akropolis Reed Quintet World Premieres
Join the Akropolis Reed Quintet and the 18 ACMI participants for a concert featuring the world premiers of the 4 ACMI composers: Shane Scott Cook, Nicholas Edwards, Mikeila McQueston, Rin Seo
Back for its fourth season, the Akropolis’ Chamber Music Institute at Bay View is a 9-day program that brings together 4 talented composers with 14 innovative chamber performers from around the country to create imaginative new classical music alongside Akropolis.
Founded in 2009, the GRAMMY® Award-winning Akropolis Reed Quintet performs with “sheer musical imagination” (Gramophone), renowned as “a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity” (BBC Music Magazine). Composed of the same five members since its founding, these five reed players and entrepreneurs are pioneers and champions of a new genre of classical music—the reed quintet.
