The bold and ingenious Turtle Island Quartet,
and legendary composer and clarinetist Paquito D’Rivera,
will play music live, on-stage for
Luna Negra Dance Theater in a magnificent
performance of Danzón. This traditional,
quintessential Cuban dance is reinvented and
reinvigorated as a modern work of art
in concert with the collective winners of
eleven Grammy Awards—Turtle Island and
Mr. D’Rivera. Their production blends
ballet and modern dance techniques, strongly
flavored by Latino and Afro-Caribbean music
and dance forms. Audiences respond with so much
enthusiasm and genuine excitement that they
leave asking for more. Join us for
this exclusive, spectacular collaboration
for Luna Negra’s 10th Anniversary Celebration.
