Tuesday, February 3, 7:30PMMartha Graham Dance Company: A Dual Centennial Event!
Featuring a special appearance by John Rubinstein
Tickets: $35-$63
Celebrate 100 years of the 'grandest small-town theater in America', and the oldest dance company in America with this dual centennial event! This program features iconic works of Graham's alongside newly commissioned dances by some of the most dynamic choreographers working today.
Martha Graham (1894-1991) is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century, alongside Picasso, James Joyce, Stravinsky, and Frank Lloyd Wright, single-handedly defining contemporary dance as a uniquely American art form. The Martha Graham Dance Company has been a leader in evolving that art form since its founding in 1926. It is both the oldest dance company in the United States and one of the most celebrated on the planet.
This evening also features a special appearance by Tony-Award winner, John Rubinstein, who returns after portraying Eisenhower here in October! Rubinstein will be narrating the iconic Appalachian Spring, and performing Bernstein’s Simple Song. Rubinstein last performed that piece in 1978 under the baton of Leonard Bernstein, and on the occasion of the first Kennedy Center Honors for which his father Arthur was an inaugural recipient of the honor alongside Marian Anderson, Fred Astaire, George Balanchine, and Richard Rodgers.
This performance is made possible in part by the J. William Warehime Fund of the Majestic Theater Centennial Endowment, a special gift from the J. William Warehime Foundation, and the Lydia Ziegler Clare Fund.
