Tom Gold Dance will present its second annual fall season, featuring an evening-length World Premiere from Tom Gold Dance Founder and Director Tom Gold to Lera Auerbach's 24 Preludes for Piano, Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16, 2019 at Florence Gould Hall at the French Institute Alliance Française.
Currently scheduled to perform are dancers Michael Sean Breeden, Evelyn Kocak, Abigail Mentzer, Davide Riccardo, and Stephanie Williams. Pianist Arthur Williford will provide live accompaniment.
"We are excited to return to Florence Gould Hall, and to build on the success of last year's inaugural fall program with a new work to Lera Auerbach's 24 Preludes for Piano," says Tom Gold. "A wide range of music in contrasting styles is intrinsic to our creative process and development. The haunting, eerie melodies of the Preludes, while distinctly contemporary, possess a structure that strongly complements a traditional classical dance vocabulary."
"Fall is an incredibly rich time for dance in New York City," adds Executive Director Alexander Zaretsky. "We value this opportunity to be able to expand the choices audiences have to experience high quality dancing, and grateful to all of our supporters who help make a second season part of our regular programming."
The 2019 fall season of Tom Gold Dance is made possible, in part, through the generosity of the Leon Lowenstein Foundation.
