The program includes Laura Bennett's Part Two, described as "unabashedly beautiful" by Viola Farber and Buraczeski Etude, a suite of energetic and at times humorous duets. Anna Sokolow's Preludes will be performed by dancers from the Massachusetts-based SOKOLOW NOW! These joyous solos express the emotional range of two selected Rachmaninoff preludes. The first solo introduces a theme of Sokolow's distinctive dramatic intensity; it is followed by a contrasting dance filled with light, lively variations. Kanji Segawa's Short Stories, was an instant hit at its premiere in the summer of 2008. In four vignettes, Segawa explores a range of moods, relationships, and dance styles. 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.
