NEW! Caeli joins Sybarite5!
Equal parts passion, grit, and musical ecstasy, Sybarite5 is an intoxicating cocktail of post-genre musical goodness expressed through the virtuosity of violinists Sami Merdinian & Suliman Tekalli; violist Caeli Smith; cellist Laura Andrade; and double bassist Louis Levitt. It’s the first ensemble of its kind to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild competition and the group is constantly evolving, defying categorization, and has been keeping audiences on their toes for over a decade.

 

In summer 2020, Caeli founded MusicAlly, a platform that connects students with online lessons, using a buy-one-give-one model. MusicAlly is building an international community of peers through its PenPal program. MusicAlly’s mission is to work to end the inequality gap in classical music training.
