For more than 20 years, the Turtle Island String Quartet has been a singular force in the creation of bold new trends in chamber music, journeying through folk, bluegrass, swing, bebop, funk, R&B, rock, Latin and Indian music.

“This group has set a standard beyond the reach of its few contemporaries,” raved the Los Angeles Times. “In the idiom they invented, Turtle Island remains the ne plus ultra.”

TISQ has collaborated with Paquito D’Rivera, guitarist Leo Kottke, the Parsons Dance Company, and Seven Days Alums the Manhattan Transfer and pianist Billy Taylor, while earning a reputation as a sizzling live act.

“At some other time, in some other venue, I may have heard a better live performance, but I doubt it,” raved the Nashville Scene.

For Seven Days, TISQ presents A Love Supreme, featuring music of (and inspired by) John Coltrane. Their Coltrane recording won them a 2008 Grammy for Best Classical Crossover Album last year, the second time in three years they’ve won the award.
