Experience the captivating synergy of John Clayton, a master of the bass, and the innovative ETHEL Quartet. Their collaboration weaves together the rich, resonant tones of Clayton's bass with the quartet's dynamic string arrangements, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
“Borrowing from rock’s defiant rawness, [ETHEL] spikes string-quartet suavity with grit reminiscent of photographic grain: scraping, vigorous bow attacks, the microtonal friction of bluesy inflections, the slight metallic buzz of amplification," said The Boston Globe.
From soulful melodies to intricate improvisations, their performances are a journey through the heart of music, showcasing the power and beauty of string instruments. Join us for an evening of unparalleled artistry and discover the magic that happens when jazz and classical worlds collide.
