Two-time GRAMMY-award winning ATTACCA QUARTET, as described by The Nation, ​“lives in the present aesthetically, without rejecting the virtues of the musical past”, and are recognized and acclaimed as one of the most versatile and outstanding 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.  

Passionate advocates of contemporary repertoire, the quartet are dedicated to presenting and recording new works. 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. 

In 2021, the quartet announced their signing to SONY Classical, releasing two albums, 'Real Life' and ‘Of All Joys’, that embody their range as a contemporary quartet at home in the studio and on stage. 'Real Life' explores collaborations with leading electronica artists like TOKiMONSTA, Dedalus, and Squarepusher, and 'Of All Joys' unites the music of the Renaissance with modern minimalist giants Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt.

The quartet continue to perform in the world's best venues and festivals, with highlights including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Sala Sao Paolo, SFJazz, Paris’ Théâtre de la Ville, Palau de la Musica, Concertgebouw Bruges, De Doelen, Kings Place, and Amsterdam’s String Quartet Biennale. 

ATTACCA QUARTET was formed at the Juilliard School by Amy Schroeder and Andrew Yee in 2003.
