DESCRIPTION:The two-time Grammy-winning quartet returns to Hope College\, t
 his time with acclaimed pianist jazz Cyrus Chestnut. The collaboration is 
 infused with the global reach of gospel and sacred music- ranging from the
  Appalachian Mountains to the spiritually defined musical landscape of J.S
 . Bach.\n\nDipping into the rhythms of world cultures\, these five multi-s
 tylistic singularly\, gifted musicians come together to embrace the transc
 endental power of great music. A moving night of Ellington\, Bill Monroe\,
  Bill Withers\, Coltrane\, and more.\n\nWinners of the 2006 and 2008 Gramm
 y Awards for Best Classical Crossover Album\, Turtle Island fuses the clas
 sical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles. Since it
 s inception in 1985\, the Turtle Island Quartet has been a singular force 
 in the creation of bold new trends in chamber music for strings. Turtle Is
 land has performed with various artists including Grammy Award winner Bill
 y Taylor\, nine-time Grammy Award winner The Manhattan Transfers\, and sin
 ger Nellie McKay.\n\nCyrus Chestnut was called “the best jazz pianist of
  his generation” by Tim Magazine. From growing up playing in a church to
  playing with jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie\, Chick Corea\, and Terr
 ence Blanchard\, he continues to create a style that is hard describe but 
 great to listen to.\n\n\n\n“Impeccable precision in its pitch and coordi
 nation…ebullient!” -The New York Times\n\n“A sterling example of fir
 st-rate jazz music-making” - Los Angeles Times\n\n“…the ability to c
 reate the best rock\, jazz\, rock\, bluegrass and the rest in sonorities t
 hat are rich\, transparent\, balanced and blessedly lightly amplified” -
  The Washington Post\n\n“The pianist Cyrus Chestnut is one of jazz’s m
 ost convincing anachronisms. His brand of crisp articulation and blues-inf
 lected harmony evokes another era…What makes his music fly is a complete
  security in his style\, and that sense of untroubled self-assurance.”
