This is my kind of dance music
A few months ago I got the chance to see my sister perform at Kennedy Center. But I never left Houston; in fact, I was in my office at the time, watching a webcast of the event. They’ve archived it (RealOne Player required), so I’ve been able to enjoy repeat viewings.
The program begins with Three Dance Portraits (1986) by William Bolcom: “Dead Moth Tango,” “Knock-stück” (a play on the German word for nocturne, Nachtstück), and “Abbacadabra.” The second half features the dance troupe Boris Willis Moves and music (including a world première) by Jeffrey Mumford.
