Cerqua Rivera brings together their full ensemble of collaborating musicians and dancers to the Ruth Page Center for their fall concert. Composer Joe Cerqua and choreographer Wilfredo Rivera founded the company fifteen years ago to fuse music, visual art and dance in an expression of the rich diversity and complexity of contemporary life; their semi-annual concerts—the only times the full complement of artists are together on stage—are the best way to see their vision in action. The fall program contains four new works, including a tribute from Rivera to his musical parents, set to the Honduran music of his childhood. Ensemble member Marc Macaranas brings a duet to music by Cerqua, inspired by the excitement of meeting someone new. Associate Artistic Director Raphaelle Ziemba presents two new works, including “In the Depths of the Sensuous,” which premiered at Core Project’s “Going Dutch” series, celebrating female artists.
