Today, the Spotlight shines On legendary cellist Dorothy Lawson.

Dorothy and the group ETHEL have spent years breaking down walls between classical, jazz, rock and world music.

On March 13, 2025, at New York City's Carnegie Hall, Dorothy teams up with bass legend Ron Carter to reimagine his landmark Kronos Quartet recording from 40 years ago, featuring arrangements of music by Thelonious Monk.

Dorothy shares how ETHEL has evolved through four generations of musicians, their unique residency at the Metropolitan Museum, and why making deeply human music matters now more than ever.
