Eileen Ivers continues to push traditional fiddling boundaries from a folk music staple to a fiercely fresh, powerfully beautiful, intensely driving world stage experience. Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Ivers has performed and/or toured with such diverse artists as Sting, Patti Smith, Al Di Meola, Hall and Oates, and The Chieftains, and was a founding member of Cherish the Ladies.
Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated, Ivers has guest-starred with the London Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, over 60 symphony orchestras to date, and was the groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance. The daughter of Irish immigrants, her love of connecting her musical roots in both Ireland and the U.S. is palpable.

Recipient of Les Prix de la Danse de Montréal 2017 for performance as a solo with bang bang, Manuel Roque returns to the piece with a new energy, performed as a duet. This is a work that pushes artist and audience to the limit. Involving a repetition of jumps and athletic patterns counted in 11, bang bang demands exceptional concentration and physical commitment from the performers. This work gradually drips with combativeness and resistance, revealing the human-performers’ flaws. As a pair, the ordeal becomes a sharing of strengths and weaknesses, where continuing becomes at once absurd, poetic, and political.
“Manuel Roque does more than dance for us; he dances us, embodies our inability to dance, and generously restores dance to us, illuminating that precise place where the body becomes spirit and finds its illuminated unity.” – Jean Louis Perrier, Revue Movement, Montréal (translated from French)

George Gershwin was at home in many different musical worlds, from Broadway and Hollywood musicals to opera and symphonic works. He was also a terrific pianist who amused and amazed his friends at parties with fascinating piano versions of his songs. This concert shines a light on Gershwin’s many achievements, including performances of many of Gershwin's songs in his own arrangements, including highlights from Porgy and Bess in a stunning arrangement by pianist legend, Earl Wild, and, of course, his most famous composition, Rhapsody in Blue.
