Art and music come to life through movement in our next Global Rhythms performance, "Of Love," presented by @bigreddanceproject this Saturday at the NCMA.

Inspired by five beautiful vocal arias, "Of Love" is a modern interpretation of 18th-century Italian songs that explore love in its many forms. Performed in front of a projection of Canaletto's "Capriccio: The Rialto Bridge and the Church of S. Giorgio Maggiore," the dance features duets and solos and reflects on all facets of love, from tender to flirtatious and from heartbroken to vengeful. To celebrate International Opera Day, local soprano Ariel Reed and pianist Jon Latané will provide live music during these performances. Following the program, join a conversation with Artistic Director Gerri Houlihan, Outreach Coordinator Susan Hartley, and all the performers. 🕚: October 17, 11 am and 1 pm 📍: East Building, Level B 💵: FREE --------- Pictured: Canaletto, Capriccio: The Rialto Bridge and the Church of S.
