ETHEL's New 'Oshtali' CD Is Unlike Anything You've Heard
ETHEL's new recording, "Oshtali: Music for String Quartet," was released today by Thunderbird Records. You can check out the 16-track album of contemporary classical music at ETHEL's Music page. It's also available for purchase at Amazon and at Thunderbird Records.
Produced by the extraordinary Alan Bise, "Oshtali" features ground-breaking pieces written by 11 young Chickasaw composers, all students of ETHEL's dear friend Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate at the Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy.
The album was recorded at Oklahoma City University's Wanda L. Bass Music Center in studio sessions that invited the composers to participate in the production process.
The result? "Oshtali" is a collection of utterly fresh and compelling works of astonishing depth -- created by student composers who range in age from 13 to 21. Their unique point of view provides a tribute to the heritage and future of the Chickasaw Nation that is unlike anything you've heard.

"The Chickasaw students are incredibly gifted composers who have created amazing, beautiful music that we are excited to share," says Ralph Farris, violist of ETHEL. "We feel honored to have the opportunity to bring you the work of these talented young artists."
ETHEL cellist Dorothy Lawson says "Oshtali" will amaze, inspire, and transform listeners. "It is a totally original sound with familiar elements, but vibrating with a bold new energy," she says. "This is music-making under the most perfect conditions of agreement and mutual admiration."
