Star Tribune (on the choreography of Mathew Jaczewski)
“This relentlessly inventive string quartet is setting the standard for new music engagement…insouciantly ignoring boundaries between jazz, rock, classical and a far-flung palette of international styles.”

San Diego Union Tribune (on the music of ETHEL)
One of the Twin Cities’ most versatile choreographers, Mathew Janczewski combines provocative modern dance with inventive partnering to showcase the skill and grace of his “fearless movers” (CityPages.com). ARENA Dances’
Dancin with ETHEL brings to the stage two world premieres and three repertory favorites, with live accompaniment by the internationally renowned string quartet
ETHEL. The concert features an original score by composer Michael Croswell for the world premiere of "run with me" and two new duets; the first choreographed for Erin Thompson and Amy Behm-Thomson to the music of Pamela Z. and the second for Stephen Schroeder and Stephanie Laager.
