Lakewood Cultural Center Presents

Akropolis Reed Quintet

Tickets start at $25 at Lakewood.org/LCCPresents, 303-987-7845 or the Box Office

Akropolis Reed Quintet is an untamed band of five reed players and entrepreneurs who are united by a shared passion: to make music that sparks joy and wonder. They have “taken the chamber music world by storm” (Fanfare) and will bring their unparalleled energy to the Lakewood Cultural Center at 7:30 p.m., Friday, March 15.

“A sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity” (BBC Music Magazine), Akropolis Reed Quintet has maintained the same five members since its founding in 2009 and has become a Billboard charting, seven-time national prize-winning phenomenon. The “rise of the reed quintet” (Chamber Music America) and Akropolis’ “infallible musicality and huge vitality” (Fanfare) make it one of the most sought-after chamber ensembles today.

Experimenters and creators at the core, the Quintet has collaborated with poets, a metal fabricator, dancers, small business owners, string quartets, and pop vocalists, and is currently working with GRAMMY-nominated pianist/composer Pascal Le Boeuf and drummer Christian Euman. Akropolis delivers 120 concerts and educational events worldwide each year and has premiered and commissioned over 150 works by living artists and composers.

Akropolis’ performance in Lakewood will include the regional premiere of “A Soulful Nexus” by Los Angeles based composer, conductor and musician Derrick Skye and imaginative renditions of music by Ravel and Gershwin.

Tickets start at $25 and are on sale now at 303-987-7845, Lakewood.org/LCCPresents or the Lakewood Cultural Center Box Office, 470 S. Allison Parkway (Wadsworth and West Alameda Avenue).
