Watch the trailer: Who is ETHEL? "...I wish there were more rock bands who played like ETHEL." - John Walters, Guardian UK Read ETHEL’s bio ********************************* ETHEL’s TruckStopâ„¢ Tour In 2008, ETHEL celebrates a decade as the nation’s premier rock-infused, postclassical string quartet, with the launch of its ambitious community-driven TruckStopâ„¢ project. As an organic exploration of the world’s musical melting pot, the 11-stop, 10- month long TruckStopâ„¢ performance/residency tour examines, unites, and honors indigenous communities, cultures, and music. Estimated to accumulate over 40,000 miles across the United States and beyond, TruckStopâ„¢ ranges from a three-day residency in San Antonio, Texas, exploring Tejano Conjunto music, to a week-long retreat on the island of Kauai studying the rich heritage of Hawaiian music. The tour kicked off January 14th at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan with a collaborative concert featuring Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and Hewar band, and will come full circle October 14-18, 2008, in Brooklyn, where ETHEL will be joined by TruckStopâ„¢ alumni artists for a special concert series as part of BAM’s Next Wave Festival . Other TruckStopâ„¢ highlights include: a week-long residency/concert with Kaotic Drumline -- a community project designed to get youth off the streets at Dominican University in Chicago, Illinois; a four-day residency/concert with NAMMY (Native American Music Award) award-winning flutist Robert Mirabal in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as part of the Chamber Music Albuquerque series; and a week-long residency/concert in Tilburg, Holland, as part of the 2008 Festival Mundial . A "TruckStopâ„¢" requires ETHEL to live within a community for a two to 10 day residency, which entails, though is not limited to: hosting projects/workshops with emerging artists at local schools/universities; developing new works and instrumental practices with local artists through collaboration, improvisation, and rehearsal; and performing a concert that salutes the common creative impulse that is formed in the celebration of community. Production of TruckStopâ„¢ is supported by ETHEL’s Foundation for the Arts with funding in part from the Greenwall Foundation, LEF Foundation, Meet the Composer’s MetLife Creative Connections Program, the Multi-Arts Production Fund (a program of Creative Capital supported by the Rockefeller Foundation), and National Endowment for the Arts. Full itinerary and collaborating artists listed on our calendar.
