Turtle Island Quartet: A Love Supreme
Turtle Island plays the music of John Coltrane
Friday, October 19 at 8 p.m.
$40, 35, 30
Since its inception, Turtle Island Quartet has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Turtle Island fuses classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles. John Coltrane's jazz epiphany, A Love Supreme, is music that struck a chord in the hearts of millions, and became one of the most enduring jazz recordings of all time. The concert program will present an indepth look at this landmark recording in the greater context of the music that preceded and followed, a time many consider to be the last great evolutionary period of jazz.

Since his triumph as winner of the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, pianist Garrick Ohlsson has established himself worldwide as a musician of magisterial, interpretive, and technical prowess, and as a prolific recording artist.

The "visionary" and "ravishingly realized" interpretations of the internationally acclaimed Borromeo String Quartet have established it as one of the most important string quartets of our time. The Chicago Tribune calls the BSQ "a remarkably accomplished string quartet, not simply for its high technical polish and refined tone, but more importantly for the searching musical insights it brings." This Golijov program includes: Yiddishbbuk, Lúa Descolorida, How Slow the Wind with Jessica Rivera, Soprano, Tenebrae with Todd Palmer, Clarinet, and The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind.

Quartetto Gelato
Saturday, May 10 at 8 p.m.
$40, 35, 30
For over a decade, this dazzling ensemble has enchanted audiences and critics worldwide with their exotic blend of musical virtuosity, artistic passion and charismatic presence. Classical in intent, eclectic by design, Quartetto Gelato not only thrills its audiences with the mastery of six instruments, but offers the wonderfully unexpected bonus of a brilliant operatic tenor. With a performance repertoire that travels imaginatively between classical masterworks, operatic arias and the sizzling energy of tangos, gypsy and folk songs, the group's relaxed stage presence and delightful humor establishes an immediate rapport with traditional and non-traditional classical audiences alike.

Peter DeSotto - tenor, violin, mandolin
Alexander Sevastian - accordion, piano, bandoneon
