Met Winds - Winter Concert: "Danzon"

This music will make you want to dance! Virtuosity will be on display in this concert inspired by a wide spectrum of dance styles. Warren Benson's beautiful band classic Solitary Dancer contrasts nicely with Florence Price's rhythmic Juba Dance. The jazz-influenced Jubilo was written by Wynton Marsalis for the New York City Ballet in 1993. Scott McAllister's Krump emulates the energy and passion of the dance style that evolved in the early 2000's among teens in Los Angeles neighborhoods such as Compton, South Central and Watts. The afternoon concludes with an authentic transcription of Massenet's beloved ballet suite Le Cid, with its dances from different regions of Spain.
