DANCE SERIES

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana
Sat, Nov 15, 2014 @ 8pm
Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana represent, without a doubt, the very peak of the flamenco form; Dance Magazine called its leader and founder “the Keeper of Flamenco.” In the group’s 30th anniversary season, they continue to exemplify the fiery and splendid pageantry of flamenco in all its pride and passion with their “spirited dancing and imaginative choreographic concepts…with the power of a speeding train” (New York Times).

The Bang Group presents Nut/Cracked
Sat, Dec 6, 2014 @ 8pm; Sun, Dec 7, 2014 @ 3pm
It’s The Nutcracker, but definitely not as we know it. The Bang Group has taken apart every little kid’s favorite Christmas show and put it back together in a totally surprising, mind-bending new way. Mixing Tchaikovsky’s original score with music by Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and others, the company turns the sugar-coated ballet into a percussive piece of dance theatre. Nothing is sacred as Nut/Cracked twists and melds various dance traditions into an ode to American eclecticism which honors the power of the human urge to dance while riding Tchaikovsky’s voluptuous waves of rhythm. A co-presentation by the Emelin Theatre and Larchmont-Mamaroneck Community Counseling Center.

JAZZ/BIG BAD SERIES

Count Basie Orchestra
Fri, Nov 21, 2014 @ 8PM
Swing like it’s 1935 with one of the greatest and most important musical groups in American history, a Big Band orchestra so essential that “legendary” scarcely seems to cover it. In the history of jazz music, Count Basie is the only bandleader whose orchestra is still performing sold out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, nearly 30 years after his passing. The Count Basie Orchestra has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, garnered 18 Grammy Awards, performed for royalty and appeared in movies and television shows and at every major jazz festival and concert hall in the world. Its 18 members give extraordinary concerts that celebrate Basie and his legacy.

Stateof- the-art orchestration produces a powerfully stimulating two-hour musical and visual experience highlighting the three major eras of the Beatles’ careers: the Ed Sullivan Show, Sgt. Pepper, and Let lt Be/Abbey Road. It’s not just uncanny mimicry that makes this show so popular; it’s that the wit and charm of the performers are truly reminiscent of the Fab Four.
