FREE PERFORMANCES TONIGHT & TOMORROW
|
|
Tonight and tomorrow (June 15 & 16)
the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company will present
two free performances at 6:30pm
as part of the Hudson River Dance Festival.
The performances will take place at
West 23rd Street and the Hudson River.
The Lubovitch company will present two of its beloved works -- My Funny Valentine (created as a tribute to the Broadway legend Richard Rodgers on the centennial of his birth) and the duet from Concerto Six Twenty-Two (set to Mozart's concerto for clarinet). The duet from Concerto debuted at Carnegie Hall in 1986 during the height of the AIDS crisis, and, ever since then, it has been indelibly associated with the mutual support of communities under siege, and with the beauty and strength of friendships in a time of crisis.
The Lubovitch company will share the program with two of New York's other great contemporary dance companies --
Stephen Petronio Company and Urban Bush Women.
