New ballets to live music

New Chamber Ballet presents the world premiere of Vox, choreographed by Miro Magloire to music by Elizabeth Gartman, along with The Density of Bones, to music by Ya-Lan Chan

Vox is the result of a multi-year collaboration with Gartman, following a 2021 duet called Deep Breath, which critic Leigh Witchel called “bracing, daring, and calmly radical”. The score for piano and violin is inspired by the mechanics of vocal music. Incorporating interviews with the dancers about their (real and metaphorical) voices, the dance is as much a portrait of the artists as a reflection on the emotional parallels between singing and dancing.

The Distance Between Bones is a short duet in which the dancers are connected in interlocking, gravity-defying lifts.

Both works will be performed in New Chamber Ballet's signature, in-the-round setup, with the audience seated up-close and able to see the kaleidoscopic choreography from various angles. As always at New Chamber Ballet, the music will be performed live.

Performers include the dancers Anabel Alpert, Megan Foley, Nicole McGinnis, Amber Neff, Rachele Perla, and Kayla Schmitt, as well as Madeline Hocking (violin) and Melody Fader (piano).

“It's heartening to see work so focused on the meeting of dance and music.” -Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
