Three musical epochs. Three distinct voices. All in one dazzling program. Robbins’ Brandenburg – danced to Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos – is ebullient in spirit and filled with the wonder of boundless freedom and endless possibility.
With In the Night, Robbins gives us vastly contrasting sets of lovers under a midnight sky. Ranging from idyllic to headstrong, this work is as passionate as its Chopin score. With 1950s inflections at its core, N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz is a reflection of the post-war era when city streets were bustling with teens moving to cool jazz and angst-ridden beats.
