ravishing, a gem...I would describe the entire concert that way.” —Richland Observer, WI
“impressive playing....wonderfully nimble” —Chicago Tribune

“one of the most forceful and intelligent of American quartets” —The New Yorker
“The CSQ’s performance was remarkably supple and intelligent, nearly
seamless in unfolding the music as the organic whole it is.” —Chicago Tribune
Called “one of our civic treasures” by the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago String Quartet quickly established a reputation for vibrant
musicianship, warmth of tone, and wide stylistic range. Founded in 1995 as the quartet-in residence of The Chicago Chamber
Musicians, CSQ’s concert programs draw from a broad repertoire. The Quartet has been in residence at the Taos School of Music, and
has taught at the Madeline Island Music Camp. CSQ has toured nationally, including performances at the 92nd Street Y and Merkin

“...their colorful and informative introductions to each piece elicited chuckles from the crowd,
and revealed their deep understanding of musical history.” —Centerstage Chicago
Quintet Attacca, Grand Prize Winner of the 2002 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, is one of Chicago’s finest and most
dynamic chamber ensembles. The group is one of only two wind quintets in the 33-year history of the Fischoff competition to have
received the coveted Grand Prize. The quintet has played in European festivals and in New York, along with venues across the Midwest,
with extensive programming in Chicago. Quintet Attacca is in residence at Lake Forest College and at the Music Institute of Chicago.
The ensemble has appeared on WFMT, at the Music Institute of Chicago, and on the Fermilab Gallery Chamber Series. Quintet
Attacca is dedicated to connecting with young musicians, audiences of all ages, and Chicago’s cultural community.

twentieth centuries, from Germany, Britain, and Norway, including

Tye, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, and Benjamin Britten
“The music poured out like honey, rich and shining…like light through
darkness.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“…energy, precision, balance…spectacular performances…. The group
itself not only sounded as glorious as it ever had, but it was obviously
having a ball.” —New City
Founded in 1982 as His Majestie’s Clerkes, Bella Voce performs classic a cappella repertoire, early music of the Americas, and contemporary
music from all over the world. In 2004 Bella Voce received the prestigious Alice Parker ASCAP Chorus America Award
for programming that was “an adventurous stretch” for both singers and audience. Distinguished guest conductors including Sir
David Willcocks, Paul Hillier, Simon Preston, and Alice Parker have led the ensemble over the years. The ensemble has recorded for
Centaur, Harmonica Mundi, Narada, and Cedille Records. A noteworthy contribution of Bella Voce to the arts has been its commissions
of choral works by Midwestern composers including Frank Ferko, Gustavo Leone, and Rami Levin.
