Voice of the Turtle has performed concerts of Judeo-Spanish (Sephardic) music for 22 years. The group's signature instrumental and vocal arrangements of rarely heard repertoire have been heard nationally and internationally, and have been acclaimed by critics including the Boston Globe, The New York Times, London's Jewish Chronicle, and Ha’Aretz in Israel. Voice of the Turtle uses an expansive palette of instruments which reflect the complex and intriguing paths of exile of the Spanish Jews since 1492 through North Africa, the Balkans, and the Near and Middle East -- saz, 'ud, baglama, rebec, kamanja, shawms, chalumeaux, bombards, flutes, middle eastern percussion, as well as modern instruments.
