Limón Dance Company

Timeless, dramatic, and nuanced, the great Limón Dance Company has been at the vanguard of American modern dance since its inception. Founded in 1946, the company was responsible for the creation, growth and support of modern dance in the US, and will celebrate its 75th anniversary season with works that reflect on the history of the company and look forward to its next iteration. The program will feature Yaron Kohlberg, renowned international pianist and president of Piano Cleveland, in a live performance of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 21 in C Major to accompany the company's performance of Waldstein Sonata. The evening will also include a new work exploring the resilience of the human spirit, Only One Will Rise, choreographed by Burkina Faso choreographer Olivier Tarpaga, whose early life experiences echo those of Limón’s.
