About the event
Music by Handel and Nico Bentley
Conceived and Choreographed by Doug Varone
Our very exciting collaboration with MasterVoices and Doug Varone and Dancers, for the New York City Premiere of To My Arms / Restore! This two-part work sets a suite of exquisite operatic arias by Handel and his choral work Dixit Dominus. Eleven dancers perform in Part 1: To My Arms, to Handel arias sung by five soloists and accompanied by NYBI instrumentalists. For Part 2: Restore, composer Nico Bentley and the MasterVoices Chorus join dancers, singers, and NYBI, in performing Handel Remixed, the choral masterwork Dixit Dominus layered with Bentley’s electronic DJ’ing.
