Cuatro 2
12 June, 2020
Watch the second episode of Cuatro – our four-part collaboration with Sydney Dance Company, created in isolation, as eight virtuosic artists respond to a new way of life.
Four Episodes. Four Dancers. Four Musicians.
In response to these creative times of isolation we’ve partnered with Sydney Dance Company to bring you Cuatro. This exclusive four part series features musicians and dancers exploring different artistic conceptions of distance.
Each work has been produced and directed by Pedro Greig and choreographed by Rafael Bonachela, Sydney Dance Company’s internationally acclaimed Artistic Director. Each element was recorded in isolation at the Sydney Dance Company Studios in Ultimo, Sydney.
Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840) is perhaps the most significant violinist in history, a true virtuoso whose abilities redefined the possibilities of his instrument. He composed his 24 Caprices for Solo Violin Op.1 between 1802 and 1817, and they have been inspiring performers and composers alike for 200 years.
Paganini dedicated his caprices “to all the artists” – and it is in that spirit that we present this performance of Caprice No.11 by our Concertmaster Andrew Haveron and dancer Davide Di Giovanni.
