Ethel
Boston Debut!
Friday, May 9, 8pm, Sanders Theatre

Musically omnivorous, prolific, and passionate, this band of four world-class, Juilliard-trained, composer/musicians will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ethel is a festival favorite that has toured the world, a string quartet that has shared stages with pop/rock icons Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson and appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Ethel’s thoroughly contemporary musical outlook, which includes a variety of sound enhancements, has placed this group on the cutting edge of the New York music scene.

“…I wish there were more rock bands who played like Ethel.”
—The Guardian (UK)
