They will perform at the Weinberg Center for the Arts on November 7, 2019 at 7:30 PM. A grant from the Tivoli Society has made this performance part of the pay-what-you-want Discovery Concert Series. Tickets may be purchased for $10 in advance online at WeinbergCenter.org by calling the Box Office at 301-600-2828 or in person at 20 West Patrick Street. Night of tickets are pay-what- you-want. Previously of the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet and also nominated for a Grammy for “Best Instrumental Composition” in 2018; Jeremy Kittel has been a composer-arranger-collaborator for such diverse artists as My Morning Jacket, Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble, and Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn. He blazes through a Bach violin partita as easily as a Scottish reel, bringing the same intense focus and precision to both. For the last few years the Michigan native, now based in Brooklyn, has been diligently building his own repertoire of music for a wholly original new group. This Kittel and Co. show features mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham (named “the future of the mandolin” by Mandolin Magazine) and guitarist Quinn Bachand (who's toured with fiddling icons Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster).
