Sybarite5
“If you're looking for a worthy successor to the Kronos Quartet as a small string ensemble pushing the envelope of concert music, count this exciting gang of five as one excellent candidate." -Jon Sobel, Blog Critics Magazine

After nearly two decades of redefining the string quintet experience with its inventive programming and adventurous spirit, Sybarite5 is entering a new era with the launch of Sybarite Sound Lab — an initiative that builds upon the ensemble’s legacy while creating new opportunities for musicians and audiences alike.
Sybarite Sound Lab will serve as an incubator for bold artistic projects that extend beyond the core quintet—fostering collaborations, commissioning new works, and supporting ensembles of all shapes and sizes.
As part of this broader vision, we’re thrilled to announce that Sybarite5 will serve as the Lab’s flagship ensemble throughout the 2025–26 touring season, featuring violinists Simone Porter and Ariel Horowitz, violist and composer Jessica Meyer, cellist Amanda Gookin, and double bassist Louis Levitt.
