Lar Lubovitch Dance Company

"Mr. Lubovitch has created dance so warm and sensuous and pretty that he seems to have created a new category: dance to bask in." - The New York Times

One of America's most versatile, popular and highly acclaimed choreographers, Lar Lubovitch, founded the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company over 40 years ago. In the years since, he has choreographed more than 100 dances for his New York-based company, which has performed in nearly all 50 American states as well as in more than 30 foreign countries.

Lubovitch has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of the ten best choreographers in the world." The company as a whole has been named a National Treasure by Variety.

Since 1994, the company has focused on teaching and creating new dances throughout the world. This has fostered important partnerships between the company and other leading dance troupes, including American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, Alvin Ailey and Hubbard Street Dance Company. A film version of their collaboration with the American Ballet Theatre was broadcast nationwide on PBS's Great Performances and was nominated for an Emmy Award.

This is the company's first appearance at Appalachian.

Pre-concert concessions provided by Peabody's Wine & Beer Merchants and Char Restaurant from 6 - 7:15pm.
