Felicity String Quartet Competitors

Professional String Quartet based in Austin, TX

Since 1985 the Turtle Island Quartet has created new trends in chamber music for strings - playing jazz, bluegrass, swing, be-bop, funk, R&B, rock, hip-hop as well as the music of Latin America and India. Their latest album "Have You Ever Been" features the music of Jimi Hendrix and Turtle Island Quartet founder and composer-in-residence David Balakrishnan. With over a dozen major-label recordings and motion picture sound tracks, the group has appeared on the Today Show, All Things Considered, and Prairie Home Companion. Bartlett Microphones, located in Elkhart, Indiana, designs and builds specialty microphones for acoustic instruments and theater productions. Owner/engineer Bruce Bartlett says, "As long-time fans of the Turtle Island Quartet, we are honored to help convey its beautiful sound to its audiences."

The Grammy Award-winning Parker Quartet has rapidly distinguished itself as one of the preeminent ensembles of its generation.
