HarttWorks celebrates The Hartt Community Division’s most accomplished musicians and dancers in an evening of true collaboration across genres and disciplines. This year’s performance will feature The Connecticut Youth Symphony (CYS) under the direction of Dr. Daniel D’Addio performing Sergei Prokofiev’s “Trojka” from Lieutenant Kijé Suite and Johann Strauss’s “Emperor Waltz” while dancers grace the stage to choreography set by Sarkis Kaltakhtchian, René Olivier, and Deborah Rosner. The program will also feature a new composition by Hartt Graduate Alum, Eliza Gelinas, with choreography by Deborah Rosner and accompanied by 16-Strings, a youth string quartet coached by Teri Einfeldt. In additional to these cross discipline collaborations the program will include selections from the HCD Repertory Ensemble coached by Sarkis Kalatkhtchian and Deborah Rosner, as well as musical selections from HCD’s advanced musicians.
