SF Weekly describes cellist Zoë Keating as “a triple-shot of Absinthe before stepping outside of the bar just in time to see the sun exploding.” Although Burlington's Ohavi Zedek Synagogue can’t promise three shots of the green liquor, the sentiment remains true for Keating's sonorous concert benefiting Full Circle Preschool. Over the past 20 years, the artist — a Vermonter since 2017 — has solidified her place in strings history by creating cello compositions that are distinctively unclassifiable. A perfect synthesis of tradition and technology, her works exemplify unfaltering artistry in an era when commercialization dominates.
