Drawing on styles from across the globe, Last Dance delivers a rhythmic assortment of dance-inspired classical compositions. Feel the groove of Golijov’s Last Round, written as an homage to tango legend Astor Piazzolla; Weston’s Juba for Strings, celebrating the music and dance birthed from the African diaspora; Wijeratne’s contemporary/classical mashup Two Pop Songs on Antique Poems, sampling Schubert’s Death and the Maiden; and Enescu’s lush and exuberant Octet for Strings, completed when he was just 19. You might just dance right out of your seat.
