Their classically honed technique mixed with grit and all out passionate attack transfixes the audience,\u201d described\u00a0The Sarasota Herald Tribune.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The concert is part of the BPAC\u2019s new Recital Hall Series, which features a pre-show social hour beginning at 6:30 p.m. including heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres followed by classical music performances. The first series performance was the GRAMMY award-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in October 2016. SYBARITE5 marks the second show in the series. The evening will be catered by Delta Meat Market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe heard feedback that audience members wanted more music offerings. We also wanted to change how we presented programming,\u201d said Laura Howell, BPAC executive director. \u201cBy pairing the concert with a social hour in our more intimate Recital Hall, we hope to provide a space for audience members to visit together, eat together and enjoy the music together \u2014 making it a more social experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SYBARITE5 has a far ranging repertoire. Strings Magazine says they &#8220;have gained a reputation for juxtaposing the likes of Stravinsky with Radiohead, or Dvor\u00e1k with Led Zeppelin. But that doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe the range of their eclecticism or the depth of their repertoire.&#8221; The Arizona Daily Star tells audience members to &#8220;expect an experience that will satisfy your inner rock star and your secret Mozart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tickets are $50 each and include the heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres and concert admission.
