About the artists
Two-time Grammy Award winner Turtle Island Quartet is celebrated for its groundbreaking fusion of classical chamber music, jazz improvisation, American roots traditions, and contemporary sound. For more than four decades, the ensemble has redefined the possibilities of the string quartet through virtuosic performances and collaborations with artists including Paquito D’Rivera, the Manhattan Transfer, Terence Blanchard, Stefon Harris, and the Assad Brothers. Its acclaimed recordings earned the 2006 and 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Classical Crossover Album, establishing Turtle Island as one of the most inventive and influential ensembles in American chamber music.
