About the concert:
Music in Motion
February 9 | 4:00PM | Berkeley Community Theater
Are you ready to be swept away by a convergence of sound and movement? Music Director Joseph Young leads the Berkeley Symphony through Music In Motion in collaboration with the Berkeley Ballet and invites you to this breathtaking exploration of creativity and expression. John Adams’ The Chairman Dances, nicknamed “the foxtrot for orchestra,” takes the first step onto the dance floor with infectious rhythms and rich colors that will have you tapping your toes. The spellbinding cello concerto by Anna Clyne, DANCE, inspired by the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi, will enchant you with its hypnotic and dreamlike melodies. The heart-stopping expression of cellist Inbal Segev, paired with the dancers from the Berkeley Ballet, will leave you breathless. Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 7 was called “The Apotheosis of the Dance,” by Richard Wagner, and is considered one of the finest masterpieces of the Romantic Era. We invite you to be moved, figuratively and literally, by this exhilarating program.
