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 ARENA composer Michael Croswell* and a new work by Ethel to accompany a duet specifically choreographed for Erin Thompson and Amy Behm-Thomson.
*
Michael Croswell’s participation is supported by an American
Composer’s Forum commission and funding from the National
Endowment for the Arts.
