Robert Mirabel + ETHEL

Robert Mirabal + ETHEL

Thursday, November 13Thu, Nov 13 at 7:00 PM

Stetson Chapel, Kalamazoo College

July 22 update: please note the venue change to the beautiful Stetson Chapel!

In this unique expression of many years of friendship and collaboration, GRAMMY® Award-winning musician and storyteller Robert Mirabal – elder of the Taos Pueblo – and GRAMMY® Award-winning, genre-defying string quartet ETHEL come together gratefully to reimagine the concert experience.

Their art is a vigorous blend of joy, compassion and vital virtuosity. Building on their previous programs Music of the Sun, The River and Song for Taos, they offer a ceremony full of original music, movement and wisdom. The Red Willow is a new program built around a work commissioned by Taos Chamber Music Society in the summer of 2023.

With their signature mastery, ETHEL and Mirabal weave a gorgeous tapestry with colors from Native America, Europe, Africa and Asia. At the pinnacle of the program is the central work – The Red Willow Suite – a breathtaking, ambitious piece of music and storytelling, not to be missed. The audience will feel the urge to dance and celebrate, as the space around their hearts grows and deepens.
