Attacca Quartet brings its exceptional artistry to an evening that pairs celebrated classical works with engaging contemporary compositions. Praised by The Washington Post, which reported that "mastery like this is scarce enough in quartets that have played together for decades," Attacca Quartet is known for its innovative approach to chamber music, has collaborated with artists such as Caroline Shaw and Billie Eilish, and has contributed to soundtracks for films like Ken Burns' new documentary, Leonardo da Vinci. Attacca Quartet's Newport debut includes the US premiere of daisy by Pulitzer Prize and GRAMMY Award-winning composer David Lang, alongside Bartók's String Quartet No. 4 and Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 4. daisy was co-commissioned by an international group of presenters - Newport Classical, La Biennale di Venezia, Kings Place, String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam, Park Avenue Armory, and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
