Ostrich Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Today is Igor Moiseyev's 100th birthday - at least, so I presume. I have found no news about his death, so I presume that he is alive and jumping (literally) and celebrating his 100th birthday. Congratulations!!! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yes he is, and here is some recent information on the celebration! http://context.themoscowtimes.com/story/158881/ http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2006/01/20/107.html Link to comment
kfw Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Today's NY Times has a piece by Anna Kisselgoff on Moiseyev -- A Visionary of Balletic Folk Dance Turns 100. Link to comment
Ostrich Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Thanks for those links! I was looking for news about his birthday, but couldn't find any. Link to comment
mohnurka Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 From what I was told, there was a lot of celebration. I hope that eventually it would be somehow accessible (either from TV recording, or on official video). I actually pulled out the two tapes that I have of the company and watched them. Wonderful! And though a bit late, Happy Birthday! Link to comment
