ETHEL FAIR 2008...was a blast.
Here's a picture of John King and me hanging out after the show:
It was a really fun evening, full of laughter and wonderful music
making from our many talented guests: Howard Levy, Dean Osborne,
Jill Sobule, Gutbucket, and the amazing poetry of Rives.
We also premiered Mark Stewart's new piece, On the Origin
of the Species.
Terrence McKnight joined us as MC of the evening. He was fantastic -
what a magnetic personality! In case you don't know his name yet, he
is WNYC's new host of Evening Music. He's only been in NYC for a
few weeks, and last night was his first live event. We were honored
to have him at our show - New York is lucky to have him.
Thanks to all who were there!
This morning we started rehearsals with Vijay Iyer. We'll be performing
his piece Mutations at the Kitchen on April 16 and 17.
Right now we're in the studio with Dean Osborne - hoping to capture
his Kentucky vibe for all time.

So we've been busy working on a new piece by Anna Clyne that we
premiered last weekend at RouletteNYC and there are always the
next things coming up that have us hopping. Unlike many string
quartets we are always creating something new to play or finding a
new way to present a show. The planning element has us pretty
involved on top of the rehearsing of the material that goes on.
We've been in the studio quite a bit this fall recording several
different projects. It's been wonderful to have the opportunity to
work in a studio situation especially on the material that we are
currently writing. Once we get some basic tracks down we've been
letting our imaginations run wild and we've been having a BLAST
experimenting and layering and filtering and effecting and, and....
Should have some results on the site in the next month or so. Keep
your ears open!
