Ethelyn Friend is  a performer of great range and versatility and an extraordinary teacher;

she has access to all the powerful and all the hidden domains of human expression.
 
Her work—as a performer, as a teacher, as a poet and playwright—

constantly extends and recombines existing artistic forms,

breaking down barriers between vocal disciplines and performance styles

in ways no one has ever done before.
