“Lamentations,” Ballet 5:8 and Chicago A Cappella
“Lamentations,” Ballet 5:8 and Chicago A Cappella — Sept. 27-Oct. 6 (four performances at different Chicago-area locations; chicagoacappella.org). Past and present converge in this program of music and dance, as five dancers from Ballet 5:8 join forces with 10 singers from Chicago A Cappella. As part of a larger choral program, the Chicago-based dance company will present Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager’s contemporary choreographic take on the “Lamentations of Jeremiah,” a pair of motets by Thomas Tallis, a celebrated English composer from the 16th-century High Renaissance.
