A dance company, men and women in ivory linen rompers, stepping forward, gesturing backward, and looking up in unison

Grupo Corpo 

Brazil’s world-renowned contemporary dance ensemble Grupo Corpo returns to Boston for the first time since 2018 with a program that shows off uniquely Brazilian cultural elements and aesthetics. 

Gira, created in 2017, evokes rituals from the Umbanda religious practice, a uniquely Brazilian faith blending West African and Catholic spiritual practice that originated in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s. 

Gil Refazendo, with choreography by Rodrigo Pederneiras, takes as its inspiration the music of Gilberto Gil, the Bahian composer, performer, and activist called “the godfather of Brazilian music.”

What Makes it Great? with Rob Kapilow 

Ladies of the Canyon: the music of Joni Mitchell and Carole King

Rob Kapilow turns the What Makes it Great? spotlight on the folk and rock music that came out of Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and ’70s. Of the dozens of artists who created and collaborated in the enclave, he brings forward two era-defining singer-songwriters: Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Through examples chosen from King’s Tapestry (1971), and Mitchell’s Clouds (1969) and Ladies of the Canyon (1970), he illustrates the genius of these two artists and the magic of the community that nurtured their iconic works.

Renée Fleming, soprano 

Renée Fleming is one of the most acclaimed singers of our time, performing on the stages of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls. Her voice—full of richness, warmth, and complexity—has been compared to single-malt Scotch and wildflower honey, and, in recent seasons, she’s lent it to a fascinating array of projects, from Carousel on Broadway to Nixon in China in Paris to a Grammy-winning album about humanity’s relationship to the natural world. Don’t miss an evening of artistry with one of the great voices and arts ambassadors of our time!
