DANCE! WITH DANIEL HOPE
MAY 1–4, 2025
Get ready to let the music move you! Performing selections from his chart-topping DANCE! album, Daniel Hope and New Century will lead you through the history of Western dance music—from medieval times to the 20th century. Enjoy styles ranging from Baroque opera and Russian ballet to klezmer and tango, with music from Handel to Prokofiev, Florence Price to Astor Piazzolla, and much more. This imaginative concert will illuminate the universal nature of dance rhythms that have set bodies in motion and lifted spirits for centuries.
