As one of today’s most versatile quartets, the GRAMMY Award-winning Attacca Quartet has redefined what a string quartet can be, from classical performances in Carnegie Hall to pop collaborations with Billie Eilish on Saturday Night Live . They are joined by the legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning and multi-medium composer Caroline Shaw, whose acclaimed collaborations with the quartet include the albums Orange and Evergreen . Together, they present an evening of her most innovative songs and quartets. Join us for a post-concert conversation with Professor David Levin and Caroline Shaw.

Praise for Attacca Quartet and Caroline Shaw "exuberant, funky and...exactingly nuanced.” — The New York Times Caroline Shaw/Attacca Quartet review — full of quiet delights — The Guardian (UK) “Shaw begins Evergreen by establishing a connection between contemporary classical music and narrative style; by the end, she has shown that in the right hands, music can be just as descriptive as literature.” — Pitchfork
