NEW MUSIC TO MATCH NEW DANCE

“Ballet has long had the power, and money, to commission new music, but poverty-stricken modern dance is in a different position. The lack of tie-ups between modern choreographers and composers is due partly to a lack of confidence, but more likely to sheer logistics. CDs of electronic music make few musical demands and are easily carried in a pocket. Now an ambitious new dance-and-music work takes British modern dance grandly in a significant new direction. An orchestra, a composer and a choreographer have united forces.” The Telegraph (London)
