"...I wish there were more rock bands who played like ETHEL."
- John Walters, Guardian UK

Read ETHEL's bio

********************************* A musically omnivorous band of four Juilliard-trained composer-musicians, ETHEL performs self-composed works as well as works by notable contemporary composers including Don Byron, Mary Ellen Childs, Randall Woolf, John King, Pamela Z, Marcelo Zarvos, Phil Kline, Julia Wolfe, and others. ETHEL incorporates rock, blues, classical, jazz, and other popular genres to create a sound that defies categorization. In its 11 years together, ETHEL has toured the world, appearing on such stages as TED, Venice Biennale, Melbourne International Arts Festival, The Kennedy Center, Festival Mundial (Holland), and the Monterey Jazz Festival. The group has shared the stage with pop/rock icons Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson, jazz legend Kurt Elling, and slam poet Rives. Members of ETHEL have performed and/or recorded with Bang on a Can, the Steve Reich Ensemble, Ornette Coleman, Sheryl Crow, and Yo-Yo Ma, among many others. ETHEL’s recording, Light (Cantaloupe Records), was selected as 3 on Amazon.com’s “Best of 2006: Top Classical Editor’s Picks.” Most recently, the group appeared at: BAM’s Next Wave Festival to present ETHEL's TruckStop®: The Beginning; the Southern Theater in Minneapolis with Arena Dances; and Holland’s Tromp Festival with Colin Currie and Todd Rundgren. This season’s highlights include a tour with Kurt Elling, festival appearances in Australia and Mexico, a world premiere by Osvaldo Golijov as part of WNYC Radio’s Greene Space inaugural concert; and a return as the Ensemble-in-Residence at Grand Canyon Music Festival’s Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project.
