About This Performance
This unique program pairs contemporary dance with classical orchestration, featuring Cleo Parker Robinson Dance alongside John Williams' Horn Concerto and Stravinsky's legendary Firebird suite. Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, founded in 1970, is a groundbreaking African-American contemporary dance company known for bridging cultural divides through movement that speaks to universal human experiences. The company's work often explores themes of social justice, spirituality, and cultural heritage through powerful, athletic choreography that draws from modern, jazz, and African dance traditions.
Audiences can expect an evening that seamlessly weaves together the soaring melodies of Williams' horn concerto with the rhythmic intensity of contemporary dance, all building toward Stravinsky's explosive Firebird - one of the most thrilling works in the orchestral repertoire. The performance promises both intimate moments and grand theatrical spectacle, making it accessible to newcomers while offering seasoned dance and classical music enthusiasts fresh perspectives on familiar works.
