MoCA Westport will host its first dance performance featuring East Coast Contemporary Ballet on October 14
MoCA Westport is excited to present the East Coast Contemporary Ballet Company’s first dance performance on October 14 at 7 PM in collaboration with Alturas Duo and the Callisto Quartet, Yale Quartet-in-Residence.
“Strings and Asymmetry” offers an extraordinary fusion of styles, instruments, and artistic expressions. This program is a heartfelt tribute to the late Chilean folk musician, Victor Jara, commemorating the 50th anniversary of his passing. ECCB co-founder Claire Mazza has choreographed a mesmerizing new piece, set to Javier Farias’ monumental, “El vuelo de tu alma” (a reimagining of Jara’s iconic work). This evocative performance is scored for a string quartet, guitar, and charango, creating a harmonious blend of music and movement. Alejandro Ulloa will unveil a captivating composition, accompanied by Ezio Basso’s music, and Frances Ortiz will present a magnetic duet. Adding to the evening’s richness, the Alturas Duo will premiere “Por el amor se ve” in September 2023, a poignant composition for viola and guitar by the legendary Cuban composer, Leo Brouwer, created as a tribute to Victor Jara and exclusively for this special occasion. Do not miss this rare and enchanting opportunity to immerse yourself in a seamless union of visual artistry, musical prowess, and graceful movement. “Strings and Asymmetry” promises to be a truly unforgettable experience.
“It’s a celebration of different arts disciplines coming together. You’ll find yourself immersed in a world where movement and music intertwine to enchant and transport you,” says Kristen Young, Director of Performing Arts of MoCA Westport.
Attendees can experience the Museum’s current exhibition with complimentary admission.
