MUSICAL OFFERING
Trailblazing choreographer Paul Taylor uses Johann Sebastian Bach’s revered music of the same name to evoke primitive tribal rites. Inspired by sacred Polynesian figures, the dancers celebrate a woman’s life and mourn her passing in “one of the most extraordinarily reverberant dances of our time” … a profound work of “radiant humanity … that flows with ceremonial splendor.” San Francisco Chronicle
CONCERTO BAROCCO
In one of George Balanchine’s greatest masterpieces, audiences literally see Bach’s iconic Double Violin Concerto as two elegant ballerinas become the instrumental soloists for this glorious music. Choreographed for 11 dancers, this seminal work is pristine, exposed, and spiritual. “Ballet is woman,” Balanchine said, and none of his ballets embody that sentiment more than this one.
