Join us for an exciting evening at Performance Garage where we will be hosting a special event featuring a conversation with Charles Askegard, our DanceVisions resident artist and Guthrie Ramsey Jr., Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of Pennsylvania. Moderated by Beatrice Jona Affron, Music Director of Philadelphia Ballet, the conversation will explore the legacy and impact of composers Florence Price and William Grant Still, and their evolving place in American musical history.
Live Performance: Askegard will present exclusive excerpts of his upcoming World Premiere, performed by Yuka Iseda, Kyleigh Johnson, and Federico D’Ortenzi, dancers from the Philadelphia Ballet.
HubChats are panel discussions led by guest artists that focus on relevant topics for Philadelphia dance artists. Participants can come with questions, stories to share, or just lend a supportive ear.
