steelgrass
Review for Ethels Foundation for the Arts Inc, New York, NY, USA
Steelgrass Farm is a center for music, agriculture and the arts on the island of Kauai. Ethel's week-long residency here was a transformative event for our rural population, which is highly underserved from a cultural perspective. Ethel's free public concerts, in particular an interactive collaboration with students from Ke Kula Niihau o Kekaha, one of the few Hawaiian-language schools in the world, were the highlights of the year's musical events for everyone on our island.
