The Winter Concert features classic works by Robert Battle, Danny Grossman, and Donna Jewell, and new works by Arabella Project, Rachel Forman, Victoria Fortuna, and Sita Frederick.

The program includes Robert Battle's pulsating Rush Hour; Donna Jewell's Madame Sand, inspired by the life of writer George Sand set to the music of Chopin, and Danny Grossman's haunting Triptych -- a harrowingly beautiful study in desolation. Sita Frederick's Maletumba explores themes of desire & negotiation, migration and transition. Arabella Project is premiering StreamScape, which includes the daughters of three members in an intergenerational exploration of memory and the imagination.

Along with the mature and exuberant Arabella Project, returning companies to the Concert's roster are: the fierce and energetic Catalyst Dance Company; the exhilarating and commanding Dance Extension; and the innovative and luminous Dancing Legacy.
