Concert | Tapestries of Sound That Defy Genre -- Outdoors


Born a first-generation American in Brooklyn to French and Colombian parents, Gabriel Garzón-Montano weaves tapestries of sound that defies genre. His ability to execute a wide range of musical styles is his secret weapon. Gabriel’s 2014 debut Bishouné: Alma Del Huila, the critically-lauded, self-produced EP that put him on the map, served as sample fodder for a handful of popular music’s most iconic artists. His follow-up, 2017’s Jardin, melded classical and folkloric instruments with rnb, hip-hop, and cumbia. Opening act The San Miguel de Allende is a Mexico-born, Brooklyn-based rapper receiving critical acclaim and support from the likes of Iggy Pop, The New York Times, and Passion of the Weiss, and quickly becoming an artist to watch.

Dance Performance | BAAND Together Dance Festival: 5 Iconic Companies in Performance


See five of NYC's most iconic dance companies--Ballet Hispanico, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and Dance Theatre of Harlem--together on one stage. PROGRAM: Ballet Hispanico - Linea Recta by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa From one of today's most sought-after choreographers comes a powerful and resonant work exploring an intriguing flamenco dance aspect: the conspicuous absence of physical partnering. While maintaining the integrity and hallmark passion of the genre, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa imagines an original and explosive movement language premised upon the theme of partnership and performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel. Linea Recta was commissioned in part by The Apollo Theater and Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. American Ballet Theatre - Other Dances by Jerome Robbins Other Dances was created by Jerome Robbins specifically to showcase the legendary technique and artistry of Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov, who premiered the pas de deux in 1976, and it has since been performed by leading dancers in other major companies. Set to a waltz and four mazurkas by Frederic Chopin, Other Dances features a series of Polish folk-inspired choreography that pays homage to Chopin's romanticism and the purity of classical ballet technique. Dance Theatre of Harlem - Nyman String Quartet No. 2 by Robert Garland Set to Michael Nyman's String Quartet No. 2, Robert Garland continues his signature exploration of the intersection of cultures that is contemporary America. Complex and witty, this sophisticated work shows off the unique capacity of the company's artists to code-switch with abandon. World Premiere of Pas de O'Farill by Pedro Ruiz, a collaboration between Ballet Hispanico & New York City Ballet In tribute to the music of Latin Jazz sensation Arturo O'Farill, Pedro Ruiz takes on the classical ballet form and fuses it with the movement and essences of the Afro-Cuban diasporic legacy. The duet seeks to immerse the classical technique with the Latinx voice and expand the idea of what ballet is and can be. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater - Dancing Spirit by Ronald K. Brown Ronald K. Brown pays tribute to Judith Jamison's profound influence with a new work that echoes the title of Jamison's autobiography. Set to music by Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis and War, Brown's evocative choreography uses movement from Cuba, Brazil and the United States to conjure dancing spirits who embody Jamison's elegance, vision, dignity and generosity. New York City Ballet - The Times Are Racing by Justin Peck Justin Peck's The Times Are Racing is a sneaker ballet that sees its dancers in streetwear, drawing inspiration from a variety of dance styles while matching Dan Deacon's electronic score with youthful impulse and vigor. The work is set to the last four tracks of Deacon's expansive 2012 album, America, marking Peck's second collaboration with fashion designer Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony, and has lighting design by Peck's frequent collaborator Brandon Stirling Baker.

When she falls in love with him, Malvolio is sure her ardent displays of unbridled passion and awkward love letters must be a trick. How do we get past each other's defenses? Can the right kind of love heal all wounds? Malvolio explores the difference between revenge and redemption. Written by Betty Shamieh.
