Austin Saxophone Ensemble presents:
Danse
Dust off your dancing shoes, take our hand, and let The Austin Saxophone Ensemble take the lead as we kick off our thirteenth season at the Danse. Whether it be to the sensual tango, the sweet titterings of our pacific coast avians, or even hand-in-hand with Death himself, you’ll find yourself wanting to tap your toes and shake your hips.
The revel includes the sensual sounds of spring in Buenos Aires with Astor Piazzolla’s Primavera Porteña, and two tremendous dances by Camille Saint-Saëns. We begin with Death’s fiddle calling up the undead in a frenzied Danse Macabre, and close with a wild, indulgent Danse Bacchanale.
Also on the program is the St. Matthew’s premiere of our very own Crystal Alexander’s The Open Road – a reflection on the bird calls heard travelling up the iconic Pacific Highway, and the remarkable Transcendence by sax sensation Devanii, where we rise above our differences and come to cherish our shared humanity.
