    The art of living in and appreciating the “Now” is more and more becoming the subject of universal discussion; from spiritual communities to popular entertainment to scientific publications. ETHEL presents a program celebrating the concepts of Presence and Continuity, featuring their own new string quartet arrangement of Philip Glass' score from The Hours. There is a powerful affinity between Glass’ creative aesthetic and that of the novel's protagonist, author Virginia Woolf. As a writer, she developed the theme of beauty as an experience rooted in the present moment, rather than in relationship to the past or the future. In his music, Glass captures beauty in continuity, without beginning, climax or end. Additional works will be drawn from their extensive body of fascinating and original material.
