Fifth House Ensemble is a small performing arts organization based in Chicago, Illinois, that specializes in narrative chamber music performances. It creates multi-media concerts that weave dramatic storytelling with chamber music from diverse traditions, developed through close artistic collaborations. The ensemble regularly appears in Chicago’s prominent chamber music venues and series, contributing to the city’s contemporary performance scene.

National recognition has come for its innovative approach to audience engagement within chamber music, including performances and residencies at major institutions such as the Colburn School, New England Conservatory, Eastman School of Music, Yale, and TEDxMichiganAve. Its education work includes curriculum-integrated residencies for K-12 students that connect chamber music to language arts, social studies, and science, delivered in partnership with organizations serving Chicago Public Schools. In early 2021, Alexandra Olsavsky was appointed executive director, reflecting ongoing leadership development within the organization.
