MEMBERS AT LARGE ^ Leave of Absence

fter a whirlwind holiday season, including our highly successful Grand Park + The Music Center’s N.Y.E.L.A., we are off to a terrific start in 2017

as Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center features Jessica Lang Dance. It is my sincere pleasure to welcome Jessica and her incredible dancers as they make their Music Center debut here at L.A.’s performing arts destination. I have known Jessica for more than a decade and have witnessed and championed her amazing trajectory, from her early work as a teaching artist, teacher and choreographer at American Ballet Theatre’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, to her establishment of her own dance company, Jessica Lang Dance.

As a performing arts center of the 21st century, The Music Center is not only focused on providing access to the diverse communities we serve, but also on offering platforms for artists to reach and impact new audiences. Such is the case with Jessica Lang, who, as a young, female choreographer, continues to forge new paths for contemporary dance, making it relatable both to those familiar with and those new to this dynamic art form. Jessica's piece, Tesseracts of Time, which makes its west coast premiere at The Music Center, showcases her visual arts sensibilities by merging the worlds of dance and architecture, which are seemingly at opposite ends of the spectrum. Like so many of the choreographers and artistic directors who are part of our current dance season, Jessica’s expression of creativity will spark your imagination as she transforms classical ballet language into engaging contemporary work.

This spring and summer are jam-packed with more exciting dance performances, with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater right around the corner in March. Once again, we will showcase the talents of an incredible female choreographer, Hope Boykin, with a new Dance at The Music Center commission that will complement the incredible Ailey repertory. I hope you will continue to join us on this journey.

I value your support and welcome your ideas.

Warmly,

The Music Center, L.A.’s performing arts destination, is one of the largest and most highly regarded performing arts centers in the country.

It's 22-acre campus includes four spectacular venues —Ahmanson Theatre, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Mark Taper Forum and Walt Disney Concert Hall. Celebrated for its illustrious dance programming, Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center, and home to four world-class resident companies—Center Theatre Group, LA Opera, LA Phil and Los Angeles Master Chorale—The Music Center is a destination where audiences find inspiration in the very best of live performance.

In addition, The Music Center provides lifelong learning opportunities that benefit students in grades K-12 in addition to their teachers, both in schools throughout the County of Los Angeles and at The Music Center, cultivating the next generation of artists and arts leaders.

The Music Center is truly a performing arts center for the 21st century, continually pushing the boundaries to further inspire and contribute to the artistic voice of Los Angeles. PE

WHO’S WHO

Steven Holl was born in 1947 in Bremerton, Washington. He graduated from the University of Washington and pursued architecture studies in Rome in 1970. In 1976, he attended the Architectural Association in London and established Steven Holl Architects in New York City. Considered one of America’s most important architects, Steven Holl is recognized for his ability to blend space and light with great contextual sensitivity and to utilize the unique qualities of each project to create a concept-driven design. He specializes in seamlessly integrating new projects into contexts with particular cultural and historic importance. Holl has been honored with Japan’s Praemium Imperiale (2014), the AIA Gold Medal (2012), Royal Institute of British Architects Fellowship (2002) and the Grand Medaille d’Or (2001), among many other awards.
