String Quartet ETHEL, known for their enlivened playing and consistently groundbreaking redefinition of concert music, announces their upcoming Winter/Spring 2018 season. Described as “an adventurous quartet with a rock band’s zest” by the New York Times and deemed “a genre unto itself” by the Village Voice, ETHEL’s new season offers the world premiere of Circus: Wandering City in Sarasota, Florida. (January 26-27 at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art’s Historic Asolo Theater) This multimedia experience, conjuring the singular thrill and vast American cultural significance of the circus through the centuries, embodies ETHEL’s keen ability to cohere many parts into an immersive and emotive whole. ETHEL’s Winter/Spring 2018 season also features touring of two of their signature works, The River and Blue Dress. 2018 will see ETHEL educating and enlivening campuses with their work, through an ongoing residency at Denison University and a mini-residency at The Juilliard School. Their residency on the Balcony Bar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art continues with several appearances.
