NOTE: Our fall concert series runs October 5 - 27. For all dates & locations, see www.cerquarivera.org/upcoming-events or our Facebook Events page.
A Cerqua Rivera concert is an immersive experience. Months of intensive collaboration build art that's uniquely resonant and compelling. Audience members recognize and feel recognized by the stories our diverse company tells. They respond with tears of empathy, shouts of approval and raucous applause. How will we move you?
2018 – our 19th season – is an exploration of Identity – who we are and how we got this way. We're making four major works fusing dance and music. You'll experience these world premiere pieces plus selections from our repertoire in full production, performed by our complete dance ensemble and jazz band.
