A New Sounds LIVE co-presentation hosted by WNYC Radio’s John Schaefer, the genre-defying string quartet ETHEL and flutist Allison Loggins-Hull perform tracks off of its forthcoming album Persist (tbr 11.29.24).

In celebration of the courage, patience and resilience displayed by people in times of great difficulty, the program features new works by five brilliant emerging composers starting the Loggins-Hull herself, and Migiwa “Miggy” Miyajima, Xavier Muzik, Sam Wu and 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist Leilehua Lanzilotti. Passionate, committed, hopeful and inspiring, each piece contributes to an experience which surpasses the sum of its parts.
