Join us for the World Premiere of Legend by Lar Lubovitch at Baryshnikov Arts Center, November 18-21
|
|
The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company will stage the world premiere of Lubovitch's latest dance, Legend, during a five-performance fall 2010 season at New York's Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC), Thursday, November 18 through Sunday, November 21.
Set to two movements from Johannes Brahms' Piano Quintet, Legend represents Lubovitch's first choreographic exploration of the composer's work since 1985 -- when he created his acclaimed work, A Brahms Symphony. The company's BAC season will also feature two additional dances: 1)a new production of last spring's wildly popular Coltrane's Favorite Things (2010), set to John Coltrane's iconic 1963 recording of the Richard Rodgers' classic, My Favorite Things, as well as 2) a revival of North Star (1978), Lubovitch's groundbreaking work set to one of the first Minimialist scores by Philip Glass. Seen together, the three dances will illustrate the great choregraphic and musical range that have defined Lubovitch's career -- and made his company a favorite with modern dance audiences for more than 42 years.
The company will stage it's fall 2010 season in the Howard Gilman Performance Space at BAC (450 West 37th Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues, Manhattan), providing audiences with a chance to experience Lubovitch's dances in an informal and very intimate setting. The engagement will open with a benefit performance on Thursday, November 18, followed by evening performances at 7:30 pm on Friday, Saturday & Sunday (November 19-21), and a 3 pm matinee on Sunday (November 21). Tickets -- priced at $45 general admission, with limited floor cushion seating available for $15 -- can be purchased at SMARTTIX: call 212.868.4444, or CLICK HERE to order on-line.
