The two-time Grammy Award-winning Attacca Quartet is recognized and acclaimed as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment — a true quartet for modern times. Gliding through traditional classical repertoire through to electronic, video game music and contemporary collaborations, they are one of the world&#;s most innovative and respected ensembles.
In , the Quartet released two albums that embody their redefinition of what a string quartet can be. The first Album, Real Life, featuring guest artists such as Tokimonsta, Daedalus, and Anne Müller, was followed up by Of all Joys, which features works from Phillip Glass, Arvo Pärt, and music of the Renaissance period. Passionate advocates of contemporary repertoire, the Quartet is dedicated to presenting and recording new works. Their release Orange, in collaboration with Caroline Shaw, saw them win the Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance, with their follow-up album Evergreen winning the Grammy Award in the same category.
