About the event
Music has the power to move us — literally! Artistic Partner David Roberston leads a rhythmic program full of music created expressly for movement and dance. First up are two pieces by Chopin — a Parisian-style waltz and a graceful nocturne — arranged by the dance-minded Stravinsky for Diaghilev’s ballet Les Sylphides. Diaghilev also commissioned ballet music from Debussy, who responded with the unpredictable music of Jeux (“Games”). Ravel composed his lush 1912 ballet Daphnis et Chloé by request of (no surprise!) Diaghilev. These four pieces will surely move you!
