$55.00 - $65.00
Our Price:
$27.50 - $32.50

Harris Theater for Music and Dance welcomes pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi and his orchestra, who will perform original repertoire from his latest album, In a Time Lapse. Einaudi is known for is contemporary approach to classical composition, combining classical, folk and world music traditions with pop and rock influences. In a Time Lapse was composed over a period of two years and was developed as a suite in the form of a novel, with different chapters. Within the music you can hear you can hear echoes of baroque and Italian folk music, late romantic strings textures, and a wide variety of colors between percussions and electronics. Einaudi's signature melding of contemporary and classical influences is the perfect instrument for this musical reflection on the concept of time. Learn More

Having just seen Alvin Ailey which was marvelous - with some breathtaking soloists - and even though the second number was an Ailey piece, I just didn't find the passion and the interesting correography which we saw at the CSO Hubbard St. Performance. We were sitting way back at Harris - perhaps that had something to do with our feelings.

3 gripping ballets that showed off the company's abilities brilliantly: Supple, sensual, athletic, quirky, jerky and smooth. Hubbard can do it all and do it all beautifully. Chorographically and musically fascinating.

It was fantastic! The choreography allowed each dancer to showcase his or her own personality through movement---one of my favorite performances so far.
