'PERSIST'

In celebration of the courage, patience, and resilience displayed by people in times of great difficulty, ETHEL, the GRAMMY®- winning, genre-defying string quartet, joins forces with Allison Loggins-Hull, composer, flutist, producer, and Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow to the Cleveland Orchestra. Together, they have elicited new commissions from four brilliant early-career composers: Migiwa “Miggy” Miyajima, Xavier Muzik, Sam Wu, and 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist Leilehua Lanzilotti. Loggins-Hull herself contributed her own masterwork to the project. Passionate, committed, hopeful, and inspiring, each piece contributes to an experience that surpasses the sum of its parts. ETHEL has been an ensemble-in-residence at Denison since September 2014. ETHEL is comprised of Ralph Farris (viola), Dorothy Lawson (cello), Kip Jones (violin), and Corin Lee (violin). 

This concert is free and open to the public; tickets are not required.
