Comprised of Sami Merdinian and Sarah Whitney, violins; Angela Pickett, viola; Laura Metcalf, cello; and Louis Levitt, bass, Sybarite5 has taken audiences around the US by storm. From Radiohead to Mozart, this group of talented, diverse musicians has changed the perception of chamber music performance.

The Arizona Daily Star declared that Sybarite5 audiences should "expect an experience that will satisfy your inner rock star..." We'll leave it at that.
