"It is a great honor to play with the string trio at this year's Vision Festival.
We have all come through a difficult year. We who are here have made it through. It is like a rebirth. The possibilities are endless. We win when we uplift each other. Since we got through this together we can bond together and reach out to each other in fresh ways. The music always speaks to these possibilities." - Matthew Shipp

Featuring the Matthew Shipp String Trio:
Matthew Shipp - piano
Mat Maneri - viola
William Parker - bass
