Sybarite5’s first studio album in five years, Collective Wisdom, showcases their unique and award-winning blend of classical, folk, and contemporary genres.
The album marks new chapter for the “smart as a fox,” (Limelight magazine) “hyper-accurate yet fiercely vivacious” (I Care if You Listen) quintet, introducing three new members— Suliman Tekalli, violin; Caeli Smith, viola; Laura Andrade, cello, who join original members Louis Levitt on double bass; & Sami Merdinian on violin. The album features improvisations, electronics, and world premiere commissions by Pulitzer Prize finalist, Michael Gilbertson; composers Jackson Greenberg, Jessica Meyer, and Curtis Stewart. Also included are arrangements of music by Latin Grammy® Award-winning composer Pedro Giraudo, the Grammy® Award-winning band, The Punch Brothers, and Armenian folk songs by Komitas.
Reborn out of the pandemic,“the music on Collective Wisdom has given us the opportunity to explore new things, and dig deep into works which require virtuosity, creativity, and vulnerability” writes Louis Levitt, bassist, and founding member of Sybarite5.
