The two-time Grammy Award-winning Attacca Quartet is recognized for its outstanding playing and versatility – a true quartet for modern times.
In 2021 the Quartet released two albums that embody their redefinition of what a string quartet can be. The first, Real Life, was followed up by Of all Joys, which features works from Phillip Glass, Arvo Pärt, and music of the Renaissance period. Their 2019 release Orange, with with Caroline Shaw, saw them win the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance. Their follow-up album Evergreen won the 2023 Grammy Award in the same category. A release of Ravel’s String Quartet in 2025, marked the start of a new recording relationship with Platoon.
The quartet tours extensively in the US, South America, in mainland Europe, the UK and in 2026 makes a visit to Australia.
The founding members of the Attacca Quartet met while all studying at the Juilliard School in the early 2000s and they made their professional debut at the Carnegie Hall in 2003.
The Attacca Quartet engages in educational and community outreach projects, working with the Lincoln Center Institute, University of Texas, Juilliard School, the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and Bravo! Vail Valley among others.
