Join us for a ballet by Miro Magloire set to music by Alyssa Regent and Pulitzer Prize winner Tania León.
Quadrille, inspired by an eighteenth-century dance that migrated from France to the Caribbean, merges contemporary ballet with chamber music. New Chamber Ballet's six dancers and cellist Thea Mesirow perform Miro Magloire’s choreography, reflecting folk dance symmetries from his Haitian heritage. León's Four Pieces for Cello draws on Cuban Santeria music, while Regent’s Fortis Meam, a commission by the Clark to celebrate the closing of the Guillaume Lethière exhibition, will be a world premiere. A brief conversation with composer Alyssa Regent and choreographer Miro Magloire follows the performance.
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
