Peridance Contemporary Dance Company returns to the Salvatore Capezio Theater for its annual Spring Season. The company brings on stage this spring Igal Perry’s newest full-length work Gran Partita, originally commissioned by and performed with the PostClassical Ensemble and the Washington Ballet Studio Company in 2016.

Gran Partita is accompanied by the Manhattan School of Music musicians, with notable conductor Angel Gil-Ordóñez, and illustrates Mozart’s sublime and sensitive score for wind ensemble. In this full company work, Perry delves into the synergy between movement and sound as the music grows a perfect example of his fresh and timelessly elegant style.
