Arabesque – in a dance dialogue with Al-Andalus

John Rogers – Storyteller (c) Rolf Schöllkopf – Arabesque

الأندلس I The miracle of Al-Andalus: three cultures, three arts!

  In music, dance, and poetry, this program tells stories from Al-Andalus, the Moorish-ruled Spain: of the beauty of princesses or the full moon over the Alhambra, of the Palace of Joy and the interpreters of Toledo — sung about in Renaissance moriscos or Ravel's Bolero, described by Goethe, Irving, and Mullah Nasruddin, and illustrated with contemporary dance.

Experience the wonder of eight centuries of coexistence between three cultures in three arts in this concert, set in beautiful Al-Andalus...
