Critically acclaimed string quartet, ETHEL, continues its successful six-year collaboration with Native American flutist and three-time Grammy Award winner, Robert Mirabal, with this world premiere performance. Using rivers as inspiration for collaboration, their music explores water as the embodiment of spirit and its essential role in life on earth in a cross-cultural concert experience. Using music, narrative and ritual, their performance evokes timeless Native American traditions. ETHEL will also perform part of Gabriela Lena Frank’s epic Andean Walkabout and Phil Kline’s The River.
