Founded in 1999, Quintet Attacca is one of Chicago’s most dynamic Chamber music ensembles. Grand Prize Winner of the 2002 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quintet spent the last two years in residence with the Chicago Chamber Musicians’ Professional Development Program and is currently in residence at the Music Institute of Chicago and Lake Forest College. Quintet Attacca is one of only two wind quintets in the 34-year history of the Fischoff Competition to have received the coveted Grand Prize. The ensemble is an dedicated to bringing the unfamiliar sounds of the wind quintet to all types of audiences. The summer of 2003 marked the quintet’s European debut, with concerts at the Emilia Romagna Festival and the Catania Musica Estate Festival in Italy. Recent seasons have seen Quintet Attacca continue to expand its reach with debut performances on Chicago’s classical radio station’s Live from WFMT, a New York debut on the Schneider Concert Series at the New School in January of 2005, and a Detroit debut on the Cranbrook Music Guild Series in December of 2005. Recent Chicago-land performances have included the First Monday series at the Chicago Cultural Center, the Music Institute of Chicago’s Passports series, and the Fermilab Gallery Chamber Series in Batavia, IL. Last season, the quintet traveled to Iowa City for the Family Concert Series and performed on the Chicago Chamber Musicians’ March subscription concert, the Dame Myra Hess Series, and its own signature "Q & A with QA" at the Music Institute of Chicago.
