Description
This program at the David H. Koch Theater juxtaposes fresh perspectives with established staples of the repertoire. The evening features Brady Farrar’s world premiere Trio Élégiaque, set to music by Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Jae Man Joo’s Flight, which utilizes the compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach. The collection concludes with Frederick Ashton’s The Dream, a one-act classic scored by Felix Mendelssohn that anchors the presentation in the traditional canon.
