Turtle Island Quartet, "Solstice Celebration" December 6, 2008

This joyous voyage through world holiday music celebrates the quartet members’ ancestral roots with music ranging from English carols and 16th century Scottish reels, to Jewish and Hindu songs of Chanukah and India’s Dewali. This Grammy® Award-winning ensemble gloriously fuses the classical string quartet with the adventurous spirit of jazz. Its members are extraordinary instrumentalists, improvisers, composers and arrangers. In this concert, they explore the timeless music that has been part of winter holiday celebrations for centuries.
