Earl Reeder Visiting Artist

The collaboration is anchored by a groundbreaking re-imagining of Bach’s masterful Brandenburg Concerto #6. Original works by Kaki King and a world premiere composition for Ethel & Kaki King by Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebalov round out the program.

Known worldwide for transcending the limits of tradition, the string quartet Ethel has for the past decade and a half actively, aggressively, joyfully, adapted their epic skill-set to the presentation of rainbow-colored music of every style and description. Virtuoso guitarist Kaki King has, likewise, won an enthusiastic international following as her gutsy, honest, and astonishingly beautiful works seem to defy gravity.

Brought together, these celebrated sound worlds intermingle and swarm to create a glorious and inspired collaboration.
