Don’t miss the WORLD-PREMIERE of Sounds of Hazel, new ballet honoring American music icon Hazel Scott presented by Dance Theatre of Harlem and choreographed by our very own Executive Artistic Director, Tiffany Rea-Fisher.

Friday, October 7th @ 8:00PM
Saturday, October 8th @ 2:00PM & 8:00PM
Located at Sidney Harman Hall

Commissioned by Washington Performing Arts, the dynamic new work Sounds of Hazel honors the remarkable life and legacy of mid-20th Century Trinidadian-American piano recording artist, bandleader, and stage and screen star, Hazel Scott. The creative team includes DTH founding member and Artistic Director, Virginia Johnson, choreographer, Tiffany Rea-Fisher, and composer Erica Lewis-Blunt.

In Rea-Fisher’s words: “Hazel Scott was a diva with a capital ‘D,’ but she was also super-grounded. She was not afraid to be raw and rough while also being glamorous. Her erasure from history was intentional because she was so audacious. People actively tried to erase her…so to be able to not only not erase her but celebrate her for all that she is and was is really super-super exciting.”
