ABOUT AKROPOLIS
Celebrating over a decade of music making, the Akropolis Reed Quintet, with their “infallible musicality and huge vitality” (Fanfare), has sparked a revolution in wind chamber music. An untamed band of 5 reed players and entrepreneurs, the members of Akropolis are united by a shared passion: to make new music that connects and reflects real people.
Akropolis delivers an average of 120 concerts and educational events nationwide each year; has premiered more than 130 works; runs an annual new music festival in Detroit called “Together We Sound”; is in residence at 3 Detroit high schools; their third album, The Space Between Us, was dubbed “pure gold” (San Francisco Chronicle), and Akropolis’ 4th album, Ghost Light, was just released on April 9, 2021 on New Focus Recordings and has already been called “audibly driven by real excitement and a sense of adventure” by The Wire U.K. Generously supported by 200+ donors and foundations nationwide, Akropolis is a 7-time winner of America’s foremost chamber music prizes including the 2014 Fischoff Gold Medal, and was founded at the University of Michigan in 2009.
