Sarasota Contemporary Dance Presents SCD Piazzolla Collaboration with Ann Pilot

October 19, 2020 – Sarasota

For the second performance of its 2020-21 season, Sarasota Contemporary Dance will reprise a popular collaboration with renowned harpist Ann Hobson Pilot,   SCD + Piazzolla, November 19-22 at the Historic Asolo Theater, available both in-person (socially distanced, limited capacity seating) and online through the company’s Digital Theater, a professional multi-angle immersive experience. There will be four performances: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm, and Sunday at 2 pm. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit sarasotacontemporarydance.org/tickets or call the box office at (941)-260-8485. The collaboration between Ann Hobson Pilot –the former principal harpist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra– and SCD Artistic Director and choreographer Bolaños Wilmott will showcase a dynamic passage through the music of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla, an extraordinary composer of tango music. Pilot’s arrangement for the harp, violin (Marcus Ratzenboeck) and bandoneon (Rodolfo Zanetti), inspired by Piazzola’s compositions, infuses the composer’s melodies into a contemporary mix of tango music, filled with jazz and classical influences. Through an invigorating visual and emotional experience, SCD brings a passionate and poignant performance to the Historic Asolo Theater with Piazzolla.
