In its first appearance this season, the brilliant Attacca Quartet shares the fruits of its auspicious creative partnership with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw. The ensemble has won Grammy Awards for both of its recordings of Shaw’s music—Orange from 2019 and Evergreen from 2022—and continues to engage with her rich explorations of the distinction between art song and chamber music. Shaw joins the ensemble on voice and violin in music that “exudes joy and a sense of wildness” (Pitchfork).
