L.A. Dance Project Premieres New Works Set to Luciano Berio’s Sequenza Series at the at the 2026 Ojai Music Festival with Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen.

L.A. Dance Project, led by Artistic Director Benjamin Millepied, will premiere new work at the 2026 Ojai Music Festival, created in response to four works from Luciano Berio’s iconic Sequenza series. Choreographed by Janie Taylor, Jobel Medina, and Madeline Hollander, the program brings together LADP’s distinctive movement language with Berio’s groundbreaking explorations of instrumental virtuosity.

The performances feature live music by festival artists Rose Lombardo (flute), Nathan Schram (viola), Hanzhi Wang (accordion), and Jay Campbell (cello). Each dance responds to one of Berio’s Sequenzas—Sequenza I for flute, Sequenza VI for viola, Sequenza XIII for accordion, and Sequenza XIV for cello—composed between 1958 and 2002. These works are central to Berio’s redefinition of solo performance practice, examining the expressive and technical capacities of individual instruments through extended techniques and highly focused writing.
