ATTACCA QUARTET
Amy Schroeder, violin
Domenic Salerni, violin
Nathan Schram, viola
Andrew Yee, cello

Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet, as described by The Nation, “lives in the present aesthetically, without rejecting the virtues of the musical past,” and it is this dexterity to glide from the music of the 19th through to the 21st century repertoire that place them as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment—a quartet for modern times.

Touring extensively in the United States, the Quartet’s recent and upcoming highlights include Carnegie Hall Citywide concerts; New York Philharmonic’s Nightcap series; Lincoln Center’s White Lights Festival and Miller Theatre, both with Caroline Shaw; Phillips Collection; Chamber Music Austin; Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston; and Trinity Church at Wall Street, where they will perform the complete cycle of the Beethoven String Quartets. Attacca Quartet has also served as Juilliard's Graduate Resident String Quartet, the Quartet in Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Ensemble-in-Residence at the School of Music at Texas State University. Outside of the US, recent performances include Gothenburg Konserthuset, MITO Septembre Festival in Italy, and their debut in London at Kings Place and in Oslo at the Vertravo Haydn Festival. In addition to their recent tour in Central and South America, they will return to Europe for a tour of concerts around Sweden, as well as take part in the Prague String Festival and September Me Festival in the Netherlands.

Passionate advocates of contemporary repertoire, their latest recording, Orange, enthusiastically received by critics, features string quartet works by Pulitzer-prize winning composer Caroline Shaw. Attacca Quartet won the 2020 Grammy award in the category “Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance” in recognition for their work on this album. Previous recordings include three critically acclaimed albums with Azica Records, including a disc of Michael Ippolito’s string quartets, and the complete works for string quartet by John Adams.
