| Venue: Zellerbach
Hall Price: $22/$28/$38 Subscription Series: Choose-Your-Own Subscription Celebrate the rich musical traditions and vibrant dance artistry of the Gypsy (or Roma), whose wandering spirit has fascinated people for centuries. Tracing the historical route of a 2,000-year-old musical diaspora that stretched from India to the Middle East and across Europe, Gypsy Spirit demonstrates the exciting stylistic diversity of cultural treasures all united by the fiery spirit and sheer joy of Gypsy traditions. The legendary Budapest Dance Ensemble — led by Zoltán Zsuráfszki, one of Europe's most accomplished choreographers and the master of the cimbalom (Hungarian dulcimer) — performs a wide-ranging sampling of the Gypsy's passionate traditions, including Spanish flamenco, Bulgarian melodies, Romanian folk tunes, and improvisational Hungarian csárdás (the "tango of the East"). The Ensemble dancers "impress with their mind-boggling stamina and fleet virtuosity," says Anna Kisselgoff of the New York Times. Program: to be announced Patron Information: |
