Violinist Jennifer Choi on the Ethel string quartet’s ‘modern classical’

“Postclassical string quartet” Ethel , which focuses on works by modern composers, brings its show to the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 19. The performance features Philip Glass’ score to The Hours, as well as pieces by other modern composers. We recently spoke by phone with the group’s violinist, Jennifer Choi, about her experiences with Ethel and the group’s approach to music. In addition to being a successful solo artist, Choi is the newest addition to the quartet, replacing Mary Rowell, who had been with the group since its inception in the mid-’90s.
