In this
celebratory return to live performance, ETHEL joyfully takes the stage,
bursting with energy and a dazzling array of their concert favorites. This
marks the group’s second live performance since March 2020. From the quartet’s
rock repertoire, film tributes, and original compositions, to masterworks from
around the world, ETHEL has chosen its most inspiring and engaging music,
guaranteed to raise every spirit and deliver the joy of shared experience. Led
Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Philip Glass, Ennio Morricone, and Ladysmith Black
Mambazo, all come together in the quartet’s signature style, with welcoming
heart, engaging storytelling, high drama and great skill.
Established
in New York City in 1998, ETHEL quickly earned a reputation as one of America’s
most adventurous string quartets. More than 20 years later, the band continues
to set the standard for contemporary concert music. Known for its enlivened
playing blending uptown, conservatory musicianship with downtown
genre-crossing, ETHEL has been described as “indefatigable and eclectic” (The
New York Times), “vital and brilliant” (The New Yorker), and “infectiously
visceral” (Pitchfork). Since its inception, ETHEL has released nine feature
recordings (one of them nominated for a Native American Music Award), premiered
225 compositions, performed as guests on 40+ albums, won a GRAMMY® with jazz
legend Kurt Elling, and performed in 14 countries, 45 states, and 250 cities.
