Attacca QuartetCooperstown, NY (April 8, 2025) - The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival is pleased to inaugurate its 27th season with a program featuring the two-time GRAMMY Award-winning Attacca Quartet. The concert will take place on Sunday, May 18th at 4pm at Christ Episcopal Church in Cooperstown, NY.

Attacca Quartet is recognized and acclaimed as one of the most dynamic and groundbreaking ensembles of the moment — a true quartet for modern times. Gliding through traditional classical repertoire to electronica, video game music and contemporary collaborations, they are one of the world's most innovative and respected ensembles. Their two releases “Orange” and “Evergreen” in collaboration with Caroline Shaw won the 2020 and 2023 GRAMMY awards for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.

"Renowned for their fearless artistry, the Attacca Quartet’s performances radiate infectious energy and technical brilliance that transcend the traditional concert experience," says Artistic Director Linda Chesis.

The quartet will perform their "Playlist" which includes selections from "Orange" and "Evergreen," music by Finneas O'Connell (which they recorded for the TV series "Disclaimer") and Radiohead, concluding the program with Beethoven's "Quartet in C-sharp minor, op. 131."
