Caroline Shaw is a musician who moves among roles, genres, and mediums, trying to imagine a world of sound that has never been heard before but has always existed. She works often in collaboration with others, as producer, composer, violinist, and vocalist. Grammy Award-winning Attacca Quartet, as described by the Nation ‘lives in the present aesthetically, without rejecting the virtues of the musical past,’ and it is this dexterity to glide from the music of the seventeenth through to the twenty-first century repertoire that places them as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment – a quartet for modern times.
