dirac Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 An interview with Amar Ramasar. Quote As for what’s next, Mr. Ramasar doesn’t plan on straying too far from his roots. His next job, he said, involves coaching works by two of City Ballet’s foundational choreographers — George Balanchine, a founder of the company, and Jerome Robbins — for Carolina Ballet. The role required the approval of the George Balanchine Trust and the Jerome Robbins Foundation, which hold the rights to their ballets. Carolina Ballet said he would be staging “Emeralds” and “Agon,” and working alongside Robert La Fosse to help set “The Concert” and “Afternoon of a Faun.” Link to comment
dirac Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Joby Talbot writes about the experience of composing "Like Water for Chocolate" in Gramophone. Quote Composing is such a solitary undertaking at the best of times. It’s often hard to imagine that what you’re writing will make any sense at all to the people for whom it’s intended. This time, partly because of Covid, and partly just because I found this particular project so incredibly hard to write, I lived alone with the music for far longer than normal – and probably far longer than was healthy.
