Terence Blanchard featuring the E-Collective & Turtle Island Quartet

Two titans of their genre come together for what is sure to be one of Southern California’s biggest events for music lovers at Segerstrom Center for the Arts…Terence Blanchard featuring the E-Collective & Turtle Island Quartet.

Terence Blanchard is not only one of jazz’s most-esteemed trumpeters, but he’s also an artistic force who defies expectations by creating a spectrum of artistic pursuits.  Along with being a five-time Grammy Winner and twice Oscar-nominated film composer, Blanchard is also heralded as a two-time opera composer whose Fire Shut Up in My Bones recently became the first opera composed by an African-American to premiere at the Met.
