New Chamber Ballet<\/strong> presented in February 2019 the World Premiere of Sanctum<\/em> by New York choreographer Miro Magloire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Sanctum\u2019 describes either a sacred place, or a privately secluded one; and the ballet Sanctum vividly evokes both, powerfully brought to life by the music of two outstanding composers: Karin Rehnqvist<\/strong> and Kaija Saariaho<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a rare collaboration, New Chamber Ballet joins forces with the stunning singers of the Ekmeles vocal ensemble<\/a> to create a 70-minute celebration of sounds, bodies, and movement choreographed by Magloire in the company\u2019s trademark up-close, in-the-round style.

Sanctum<\/em> is bookended by vocal music: Saariaho\u2019s Changing Lights<\/em> and From The Grammar Of Dreams<\/em>, in which the singers also dance with the dancers; and Rehnqvist\u2019s Davids Nimm<\/em>, a bone-chilling shepherdesses\u2019 call that closes the performance. The center part is left to violin and piano with Saariaho\u2019s Nocturne, Calices, Prelude, Tocar,<\/em> and Ballade, as well as Rehnqvist\u2019s Dans<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echoing the music\u2019s blend of iridescent colors and archaic melodies, the dancing runs the gamut from barefoot floor work to complex pointe steps and gravity-defying partnering, alternating between intimate duets and kaleidoscopic ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
