Turtle Island Quartet
David Balakrishnan, violin
Mads Tolling, violin
Jeremy Kittel, viola
Mark Summer, cello

Two super-groups of the string world, having irrevocably altered the face of their respective traditions, have something much more in mind than just an evening of relaxed music-making and pleasant listening: a trip around the world in one evening of wild celebration, astounding virtuosity, and rare beauty, ranging from and the rhythmic poetry of the Balkans through the warmth and passion of Brazil to the hard-swinging elegance of Gypsy jazz à la Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and everything in between as they perform the works of Chick Corea, Egberto Gismonti, Astor Piazzola, Ralph Towner, Sergio Assad, Clarice Assad, and David Balakrishnan. Join the Assad Brothers and the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet as they postulate a new unified string theory of their own design.
