Turtle Island Quartet: A Solstice Celebration December 14, 2012

A glorious fusion of jazz and classical, the Turtle Island Quartet has been the very definition of American chamber music for over 25 years. From stages across the globe to international airwaves, winner of two recent Grammy awards for Best Classical Crossover, this group is the most acclaimed ensemble of its kind. This holiday concert showcases the music of the Festival of Lights, from the songs of Chanukah to the music of India's Diwali, to the old English carols and Scottish reels of the 16th century. Turtle Island Quartet explores the timeless music that has been an integral part of winter holiday celebrations for centuries. The program also features music from Vince Guaraldi's beloved 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,' as well as revisiting famous classical gems that have become so indelibly tied to the holiday season.
