Returning to Sarasota and Concord
Hi everyone! It’s been quit a busy start to the month for Sybarite5. All in one weekend, we premiered Mohammed Fairouz’s piece New York Minutes at the cell, had our Park Slope debut with Five Boroughs Music Festival, performed for a wonderful and warm community at the Trinity-Pawling School in upstate New York, and unveiled two new arrangements from the fantastic composer Paul Kim. Next up, we will return to the old stomping grounds of our own Sarah Whitney—Concord, MA. Building on our sold-out show at First Parish Church there last year, we will perform a Saturday night show and a Sunday matinee. We hope our friends in the Boston area will be able to come to one of these!
We are also excited to return for the fourth consecutive year to one of our favorite places in the world to perform: Sarasota, FL. Our time in SRQ this year will be a bit different than in the past, as we will be collaborating with the Key Chorale for the first time ever! Read the rest of this entry »

Sybarite5 sizzles in Pawling by Jan Stribula
It didn’t take long for the word to get out about Sybarite5 last week at the Trinity Pawling School. They were hot. After their two-day workshop, they had a strong following with students, faculty, and subscribers to the Pawling Concert Series, where musical diversity is thriving.Last Friday at the usually buttoned down world at Trinity Pawling School, Sybarit5 was completely casual in sneakers and jeans. But don’t be fooled, these “kids” are totally serious about their music, with material all over the map, from Rachmaninoff to Radiohead. Read the rest of this entry »

How do you get to Carnegie Hall…?
We hope this finds you all well and gearing up for Spring! We are excited for a busy few months coming up, but first we would like to announce that we will make our official Carnegie Hall Debut at Zankel Hall on November 13, 2012! We know that November is a still half a year away, but we are thrilled about it and hope that you’ll save the date for us! Stay tuned for updates about what we have planned for this extremely special concert.
Much sooner, we will be giving the world premiere of New York Minutes by NYC-based composer Mohammed Fairouz. If you haven’t yet heard “Momo’s” music, and it seems like it’s everywhere these days, please join us either at the cell (where else?) on March 31 or at the Five Boroughs Music Festival at Brooklyn Conservatory on April 1.

A very Happy 2012 from Sybarite5!
First, a very exciting piece of news: Our bassist, Louis Levitt and his wife, Blythe, welcomed their first child, Ian on January 11. We congratulate them and welcome baby Ian into the Sybarite5 family!
We are looking forward to an extremely busy 2012! Our next concert takes place at Penn State Erie, February 2 on the “Music at Noon” Logan Series. We are very excited for our second Pennsylvania show, and to get an opportunity to work with some students from Penn State University’s Behrend Campus. Additionally, our cellist Laura Metcalf is looking forward to going back to a place where she has deep ancestral roots. Her great-grandfather was the conductor of the Erie Philharmonic in the 1930’s, and her grandfather grew up in Erie.

Sybarite5 hard at work
Hello fans and friends! Sybarite5 is hard at work preparing for the Concert Artists Guild competition semifinals coming up in a few weeks, but we do have some NYC shows planned this month and we’d love to see you there! On October 5 we will play at the beautiful WMP Concert Hall as part of their Music of our Time series. Individual Sybarites have given many concerts here in the past, but we’re very excited to play here as a group for the first time! And on October 22, we will return to our “home” here in the city, the cell. This will be the first concert of a 3-concert residency that we will hold at the cell this season. We hope you can make it to one or both of these shows!
And now to catch you up on some of Sybarite’s other recent activities! Read the rest of this entry »
