Announcing Danceworks Performance MKEâs third and final show of the 2023-24 season, "Dixit Dominus and Cantos"! We are so excited to be partnering with vocal early music ensemble, Aperi Animam, and working with guest choreographer, Maria Gillespie on this concert ! Description detailed belowâŹď¸â¨âDixit Dominus and Cantosâ runs May 17-19, 2024at Calvary Presbyterian Church935 W. Wisconsin AvenueMilwaukee, WI 53233Joining forces, Danceworks Performance MKE and APERI ANIMAM set out on a rhythmic journey with George Frideric Handelâs passionate rendition of âDixit Dominus.â Composed by the prodigious 22-year-old Handel in 1707 during his time in Italy, this earlier work presents a flamboyant tapestry of intricate vocal lines woven with a prominent rhythmic gusto. With its dynamic interplay between soloists and choir, âDixit Dominusâ exudes a sense of dramatic fervor that reflects Handelâs profound ability to evoke both grandeur and intimacy while amplifying the sentiments of the war between heaven and hell. In juxtaposition to Handelâs baroque style, this concert features a world premiere âCantosâ by choreographer Maria Gillespie that carefully pairs sophisticated repertoire with her authentically raw movement aesthetic, highlighting secular works in the polyphonic style.Event Link: DPMKE presents: Dixit Dominus and Cantos with Aperi AnimamTickets are linked in our biođ⨠...
