Medusa, a stunning new work by James Wallace, is being produced in collaboration by David Taylor DanceTheatre and the Colorado Chamber Players. This tragic Greek myth tells the story of Medusa, a beautiful young girl, caught in the wrath of Athena, after being discovered having an affair with Poseidon. Athena transforms Medusa into the snake haired creature that turns anyone to stone who catches her gaze. It features the haunting and powerful music of Caplet, Shostakovich, and Schulhoff, performed live by the String Quartet and Harpist Lynne Abbey-Lee of the Colorado Chamber Players. The program will also feature The Storm", a dracula pas deux, "Araignee" a duet of dueling black widow spiders by Gary Abbot, Bats and Spirits from David Taylor's "Rainforest", and a new work by Amy Anderson to Camille Saint-Saens “Danse Macabre”. Don't miss this frightfully exciting show full of spooky Halloween surprises. |

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart turns 252 in January 2008, and the CCP celebrates his belated birthday in February with an effervescent program of string music. The Highlands Garden Café provides an Austrian meal after a joyous Mozart Celebration, featuring the C major Viola Quintet K. 515 and the “Dissonant” Quartet K.465. | |
| Einstein’s Mozart:Two Geniuses | Wednesday February 20th, 2008, 7:30 p.m. | One performance with Kate Light, Poet
|
The CCP and poet Kate Light team up again for one performance of “Einstein’s Mozart: Two Geniuses” at Colorado College. “Einstein’s Mozart” integrates two of Mozart's great string works with Kate Light's original poetry and prose. The narration draws listeners into ordinary and extraordinary moments of these two exceptional men, while the music -- separating the texts into discrete segments -- casts its own magic. Einstein was an accomplished amateur violinist, and often played chamber music to relax his mind while working through a difficult physics problem. The CCP performs two of Einstein’s beloved Mozart works: the C major Viola Quintet K. 515 and the “Dissonant” Quartet K.465. | |

Born in the cafés of Buenos Aires in the late 1800’s, Argentine tango is full of haunting melodies, Argentine rhythms, and intense emotion. Argentine tango music is as old as jazz music, with as much variety. The CCP is joined by Tango Colorado dancers, presenting elegant milongas, habaneras and tangos of a forgotten era such as Adiós Nonino, |
