The Dance of Love

This fall’s concert title is taken from the Rumi quote "Both light and shadow are the dance of love", which is the basis for our opening song, written for us by Syrian Composer Wassim Abraham in 2019. The concert explores joyful and buoyant dance imagery in Il Est Ne’s 7/8 dance meter, a South African game song called Nda Wana, Piazzola’s Vereno Porteno tango rhythms and foot stompers from Christmas and Hanukkah traditions, such as Deck the Halls and Drey Dredelekh.

Suggested Donation: $20, Students and Seniors: $10.
