“An Evening of Ailey and Jazz” Opening Night Gala Benefit
Company:
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
The 2016 Opening Night Gala Benefit performance will be “An Evening of Ailey and Jazz,” featuring Robert Battle’s Ella – a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald preceding the 100th anniversary of her birth – along with a variety of one-night-only performances set to jazz music and Alvin Ailey’s Revelations with live musicians and singers.
Followed by a dinner-dance at the New York Hilton Midtown Grand Ballroom, the benefit raises support for Ailey’s extensive educational and training programs for young people.
