Legendary bassist Ron Carter teams up with ETHEL for an unforgettable classical-jazz fusion at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. This special performance features the concert premiere of the music of Monk Suite, an album celebrating Thelonious Monk’s genius with string quartet and bass arrangements that Carter and the Kronos Quartet originally recorded 40 years ago.
Marking ETHEL’s Carnegie Hall debut, the program showcases Monk’s timeless music reimagined for strings, alongside Duke Ellington classics, and Carter’s inspired take on Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.
