PAM TANOWITZ | ARTISTS AT THE CENTER
Songs of Songs
Choreography by Pam Tanowitz
Music by David Lang

Direct from its five-star UK run, the NYC premiere of Song of Songs fuses Pam Tanowitz’s choreography with Pulitzer Prize winner David Lang’s “dreamlike” (The Guardian) choral settings of the Biblical love poem, performed live by six musicians, with movement mined and abstracted from Jewish folk dance. Tanowitz’s intricate assemblage of style, form, and emotion "fills the stage with love” (The Guardian).
