PENN STATE BEHREND MUSIC AT NOON: THE LOGAN WINTERGARDEN SERIES PRESENTS ETHEL
|
|
The musical ensemble Ethel will perform on Tuesday, October 19, at Penn State Behrend as part of Music at Noon: The Logan Wintergarden Series. The noontime performance will be held in the Reed Union Building Wintergarden and is free and open to the public. Described as a "21st century realization of the classical string quartet," Ethel's common desire to reshape the genre, style, and musical conventions of the string quartet results in a variety of sounds. The ensemble embraces "a music that arises from the context of our time." Using improvisation, and with the attitude and energy of a rock band, Ethel is breaking barriers in the world of contemporary classical music. |
Music at Noon: The Logan Wintergarden Series was founded by Kay Logan in 1989 and is supported by the Harry A. Logan Jr. Foundation, the Arts Council of Erie; Student Activity Fees at Penn State Behrend; Pennsylvania Partners on the Arts; and Scott Enterprises. Logan created this unique series as a way of bringing classical music to all audiences, including children. All of the musical groups incorporate an educational program with audience interaction into their performances, and each ensemble also performs at Diehl School, Penn State Behrend's Adopt-a-School partner.
Guests are encouraged to bring a brown-bag lunch to enjoy the informality of this noontime event. For more information about upcoming Logan performances, please contact the Penn State Erie Office of Student Activities at (814) 898-6171.
