Dancing with Rameau and J.S. Bach
Event Information
Description
Alice Sheu/ harpsichord
Julie Iwasa/ baroque dance
In this innovative program, Portland harpsichordist Alice Sheu collaborates with baroque dancer Julie Iwasa to create a dialog between music and dance with Jean-Philippe Rameau and J. S. Bach's keyboard suites. True to the spirit of the baroque "stylized dances", Iwasa choreographed the dance movements using dance manuals published by the French and German dance masters, while Sheu performs the suites on the harpsichord. The duo together creates a fragrant audio and visual treat for the listeners.
