Helene Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Allen Toussaint, whose music is the score to Twyla Tharp's "Waiting at the Station," and who performed with PNB when the ballet premiered, died after a concert in Madrid at age 77. Here is the obituary in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/11/arts/music/allen-toussaint-dies.html?_r=0 (Thanks to a heads up.) Rest in peace, Mr. Toussaint. Link to comment
sandik Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I was hoping that he would be involved in the return of Waiting this coming spring -- this makes a sad moment even sadder. Link to comment
