Classical Interludes: Layale Chaker and ETHEL

Sat, Nov 2 2024
3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
Central Library, Dweck Center

BPL Presents classical interludes live music


Deemed a “Rising Star” by BBC Music Magazine, violinist and composer Layale Chaker was raised on the verge of several musical streams since her childhood. She began her musical training at the National Higher Conservatory of Beirut in her native Lebanon, and at the Paris Conservatoire and London’s Royal Academy of Music. Chaker’s musical world lies at the intersection of classical contemporary music, jazz, Arabic music, and improvisation.  

Established in New York City in 1998, the string quartet ETHEL sets the contemporary concert standard: “indefatigable and eclectic” Composer performers—Ralph Farris (viola), Kip Jones (violin), Dorothy Lawson (cello), and Corin Lee (violin)—fuse uptown panache with downtown genre mashup.

BPL Presents programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
