Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa ETHEL

Ralph Howard Farris, viola B.M., M.M., The Juilliard School Christoper Edmund Jones, violin B.M., Berklee College of Music Dorothy Margaret Elder Lawson, cello B.M., University of Toronto; the Diploma of the Vienna Hochschule of Performing Arts; M.M. and D.M.A., The Juilliard School Corin William Lee, violin B.M., The Juilliard School; M.M., Yale School of Music

The musicians comprising the string quartet ETHEL have been Denison’s artists-in-residence over the last three years. ETHEL’s residency has profoundly impacted Denison students across the academic disciplines, and their scholarship moves well beyond the beauty and talent of their musicality. They have embraced the liberal arts ethos of the college and deepened the education of our students. Their work has created incredible learning moments for Denison students, faculty, and staff. “My colleagues and I are humbled by this extraordinary honor,” said ETHEL founding member Ralph Farris, who is the group’s violist and co-artistic director along with cellist Dorothy Lawson. Farris continued, “ETHEL’s residency at Denison University has brought us one inspiring experience after another — conversations, explorations, collaborations, performances — all in service of the school’s ‘firm belief in human dignity and compassion unlimited by cultural, racial, sexual, religious or economic barriers.’ It is truly a gift to be welcomed into this community.” Established in New York City in 1998, ETHEL earned a reputation as one of America’s most adventurous string quartets. Part of a generation of young artists blending uptown, conservatory musicianship with downtown genre-crossing, ETHEL plays with the intensity and accouterments of a rock band. The New York Times has described them as “indefatigable and eclectic,” and The New Yorker has deemed them “vital and brilliant.” Nearly two decades into their singular career, ETHEL has, in turn, become seminal in its own right, a path breaker for countless younger genre-spanning ensembles and a prolific commissioner of new music. In addition to premiering 21st century works by a broad range of groundbreaking composers, ETHEL creates and tours rich, often multimedia, productions in which community engagement is a key element. Among their current and recent evening- length works are ETHEL’s “Documerica,” inspired by the tens of thousands of images shot as part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s decade-long “Project Documerica; Grace,” featuring ETHEL’s arrangements of music by Ennio Morricone and Jeff Buckley; “Blue Dress,” which pays special homage to women making their musical mark in the 21st century; “The River,” a collaboration with Taos Pueblo flutist Robert Mirabal, released as an album in June 2016. ETHEL has collaborated with artists including David Byrne, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Kaki King, Todd Rundgren, Carlo Mombelli, Ursula Oppens, Juana Molina, Tom Verlaine, STEW, Ensemble Modern, Jill Sobule, Dean Osborne, Robert Mirabal, Howard Levy, Simone Sou, Andrew Bird, Iva Bittová, Colin Currie, Thomas Dolby, Jeff Peterson, Oleg Fateev, Stephen Gosling, Jake Shimabukuro, Polygraph Lounge and Vijay Iyer. The quartet regularly performs works by all of the members of the ensemble, alongside music by Philip Glass, Julia Wolfe, Phil Kline, David Lang, Dan Friel, Mary Ellen Childs, John King, Raz Mesinai, John Zorn, Missy Mazzoli, Anna Clyne, Steve Reich, Kenji Bunch, Don Byron, Aleksandra Vrebalov, Marcelo Zarvos, Pamela Z, Evan Ziporyn and Terry Riley. Over the past five years, ETHEL has premiered 150-plus new works, many of them commissioned by the quartet.
