Program 1: Junction/all at once (Tanowitz)/Promethean Fire

Part of: Dance Programs | OSL Bach Festival

 Sunday, June 9, 2019  2:00pm  Manhattan School of Music - Neidorff-Karpati Hall Directions

Ticketing Information

MSM Box Office: 917.493.4428

One of Taylor’s earliest works, Junction showcases the abstract side of Mr. Taylor’s work set to Bach’s famous Solo Suites for Cello, while Promethean Fire examines the emotional resilience of the human spirit, using stunning patterns of movement that echo Leopold Stokowski’s orchestration of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.  Taylor’s beloved dances surround the world premiere of all at once by modern choreographer Pam Tanowitz – known for her sophisticated movement invention and theatricality.

Runtime: 86 minutes
