When Alvin Ailey and a small group of African American dancers took the stage on March 30, 1958, at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, the engagement was for one night only, but it turned out to be the start of a new era in the arts, launching a revolutionary company that transcends barriers and celebrates the African American cultural experience. For 65 years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has showcased the work of diverse choreographers, amplifying a myriad of voices alongside Ailey’s own. Returning to The Music Center to launch a multi-year residency, America’s most popular modern dance company will expand on its choreographic tradition, adding new choreographers to the company’s repertory with world premieres and beloved classics that illustrate the breadth of Ailey’s rich catalog, including Alvin Ailey's signature work Revelations.

Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony come to Los Angeles for a one-night-only performance, featuring John Adams’ Naïve and Sentimental Music—originally dedicated to and premiered by Salonen—a work that combines the scale and scope of a Bruckner symphony with Adams’ free-flowing and expressive minimalist language. Gramophone praised Lisa Batiashvili’s ability to tell a story through inventive phrasing and range of color that keeps the listener perpetually “in the moment.” The violinist joins Salonen for one of her specialties, Sibelius’ beloved concerto.

Alex Edelman's Just For Us returns to the Mark Taper Forum March 26-31!
Expertly crafted by one of comedy’s most distinctive voices, this singular theatrical experience is an exploration of identity and our collective capacity for empathy—and it’s also “belly-laugh funny!” (The New York Times). In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic rhetoric pointed in his direction online, standup comic Edelman decides to go straight to the source; specifically, Queens, where he covertly attends a meeting of White Nationalists and comes face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. What happens next forms the backbone of the shockingly relevant, utterly hilarious, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise Just for Us.
