Akropolis Reed Quintet: “America250”

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.

Wrapping up Chamberfest this year, Akropolis' program celebrates our nation's 250th anniversary by featuring great American composers such as Gershwin and Bernstein.
