In celebration of live contemporary American music, Danceworks shares space with emerging Milwaukee chamber ensembles and an exciting collaboration between DPMKE member Nekea Leon and the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra’s Steel Band Ensemble. Featured musical guests include the Microcosm Ensemble, the Black Cat Ensemble, and the Cosmo Reed Quintet. A highlight of the concert is composer Jenni Brandons Wildflower Quintet for Reeds. The company dancers will share the concert, crafting world premieres and exposing our unique voices. Chamber music known for highlighting a single voice celebrates subtlety and intimacy while creating space for clarity, direction, and powerful ornamentation. This show celebrates the individual and the power of allowing one person to speak at a time.
