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 which surpasses the sum of its parts.

ETHEL, featuring Allison Loggins-Hull: Persist

Kaufman Music Center

A riot broke out at the 1913 premiere of The Rite of Spring—musical modernism’s Big Bang—and more than a century later, the ballet remains a thrilling provocation. Many leading pianists have avoided Sergei Prokofiev’s fiendishly difficult Second Piano Concerto, but it gives Daniil Trifonov plenty of opportunities to demonstrate his otherworldly talents. Opening this electrifying concert is an exciting new work by Xavier Muzik, the third winner of the Emerging Black Composers Project
