“Young chamber groups devoted to shaking up the traditional concert experience are blossoming in Chicago, and one of the best is the five-year-old Fifth House Ensemble… They are a talented crew, and they brought spontaneity and hair-trigger responsiveness to the music of Black Violet.”
-Wynne Delacoma, Musical America

"In an era where we risk accountability driving out creativity, it is wonderful to have a program that allows students to learn content at high levels within a fine arts framework. Fifth House Ensemble has demonstrated excellence in using music to do what music does best - reaching minds and hearts."
-Barbara Kent, Principal, Burley School
