Harris Theater for Music and Dance with Twyla Tharp CHICAGO CONCERT SEASON

We look forward to touring with Twyla Tharp Dance as a part of their Diamond Jubilee, and performing our arrangements of Philip Glass’ Aguas da Amazonia.

Twyla Tharp celebrates her 60th anniversary with a Coast-to-Coast tour featuring her Olivier-nominated “Diabelli Variations,” set to Beethoven’s masterpiece of the same name, and a new dance to a reimagining of Philip Glass’s iconic Aguas da Amazonia, arranged and performed live by Third Coast Percussion. Showcasing Tharp’s uncanny and witty use of music to create work of startling originality and beauty, the two dances once again ensure Tharp’s place as one of the great artists of our time.
