Turtle Island String Quartet by Brittany

This performance was also another one for the record. By no means was it what I was expecting, in fact it was at lest ten times better than I thought it would be. I was set into thinking this was just going to be a long drawn out event, not a boring one just not something I would really be too interested in for a long period of time. However it was the exact opposite. Although I’ve never heard any songs by Miles Davis, or if I have I’m just unable to recall them, the performers brought it to life was wonderful. Sure, there were a couple of pieces that I found hard to stay into but overall it was great.

The musicians also helped in giving this performance it’s live. The way they interacted with us, the audience, was very entertaining and enjoyable. Also the way they moved to the music. The more they got into the song they were doing the more you wanted to get into it also. Another fact I found to be interesting about these performers is how they come from all over and are still able to show so much passion in the same “field”.

Something that I truly enjoyed also was hearing all the different sounds and ways these four men could play their instruments. The one question that I really wanted an answer to but was unable to get was how one of the members was able to create the sound of drums on his instrument. I found it so interesting that they could create so much with the “same” set up each time. After listening and experiencing this show it’s opened my view more into this type of music. I really enjoyed it and if this group is ever able to return I hope I will be able to go back to see them and maybe introduce some more people to the sounds of The Turtle Island String Quartet.
