Special Guest Roberta Koch rejoining Aszmara in performing 'Of Hope'

'Of Hope' Premiered in New York City on January 30th 1994. It was performed frequently with the full company of Saz Dance Theatre and in its chamber form as a duet with Roberta and Azsmara for six years. It seems important to us now to present this work again. After a span of nine years the relevancy and urgency has not diminished.

Our special Dance events at the New York City Nightclubs with wonderful live music ALWAYS happen on a weeknight and NEVER starts before 7pm.  We can never see everyone perform because we have to catch a train, or wake up early in the morning, or have to let the cat out... etc....

Master Musicians Haig Manoukian & Souren Baronian will provide the music for us to dance for and with each other.

Light snacks provided.
