Music in Motion

Presented by Berkeley Symphony

Are you ready to be swept away by a convergence of sound and movement? Music In Motion invites you to come with us on this breathtaking exploration of creativity and expression. John Adams’ The Chairman Dances, nicknamed “the foxtrot for orchestra,” takes the first step onto the dance floor with infectious rhythms and rich colors that will have you tapping your toes. The spellbinding cello concerto by Anna Clyne, DANCE, inspired by the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi, will enchant you with its hypnotic and dreamlike melodies. The heart-stopping expression of cellist Inbal Segev will leave you breathless. Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 7 was called “The Apotheosis of the Dance,” by Richard Wagner, and is considered one of the finest masterpieces of the Romantic Era. We invite you to be moved, figuratively and literally, by this exhilarating program.
