Episode Details

Confluence Ballet Co. presents Images, an evening of storytelling which will feature a performance by pianist Amaury Morales and new ballet works. Amaury, joined by Confluence's Resident Composer and Music Director Joshua Malavé, Co-Artistic Director Keeley Hernández, and Guest Composer Ayca Akin, spoke with QED's Anna Singer about the program.

Josh, who wrote the piano concerto Amaury will perform, explains the conception of the program, which highlights Confluence's music ensemble, as well as his journey to composition. Ayca composed two pieces for the program; she talks about the inspiration and process, and recounts her own roundabout path to music. Keeley talks about choreographing the ballet works and the opportunities afforded to artists when joining Confluence.

Images will take place this Thursday, April 9th at 7:00pm at Rodef Shalom's Levy Hall. More information and tickets can be found on Confluence's website.
