Founded in 2009 at the University of Michigan, the GRAMMY Award-winning Akropolis Reed Quintet has established itself as one of the most adventurous and boundary-pushing chamber ensembles performing today. Described as "a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity" by BBC Music Magazine, the quintet comprises five reed players who have commissioned and premiered more than 200 works by living composers, making them true pioneers of the reed quintet as a modern genre. Their recordings have landed on the Classical Billboard Charts with each of their last three albums, including a debut at #2 in April 2024, and the group has earned seven national chamber music prizes, including the prestigious 2014 Fischoff Gold Medal.
