Thu, 08/09/2018 - 04:00 PM - Fri, 08/10/2018 - 04:00 PM

Presented in collaboration with the Aspen Music Festival & School

Special underwriting of this collaborative project provided by Mona Look-Mazza & Tony Mazza and Judith Z. Steinberg & Paul J. Hoenmans

Enjoy a special two-night encore of this milestone evening of live piano and dance that wowed sold-out audiences in its winter premiere! At the center of this program is the world-renowned pianist Joyce Yang, an Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient. ASFB tackles the quirky Half/Cut/Split by noted Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo, who collaborated with Yang to bring Robert Schumann’s Carnaval to life. Also on the program are Jiří Kylián’s seminal Return to a Strange Land set to the music of Leoš Janáček, and Nicolo Fonte’s touching Where We Left Off with music by Philip Glass.

“[Yang’s] attention to detail and clarity is as impressive as her agility, balance, and velocity.”The Washington Post
