Infinite Dream Festival - Conrad Tao and Caleb Teicher

Conrad Tao and Caleb Teicher
Counterpoint

Presented by Hancher

Music and movement push, pull, and come together in a quirky, thrilling collaboration.

Pianist/composer Conrad Tao and dancer/choreographer Caleb Teicher explore harmonic, rhythmic, and theatrical counterpoints through a striking blend of sound and movement. Built around music both magnificent and idiosyncratic - including works by Bach, Schoenberg, Tatum, Ravel, and others - Counterpoint is threaded together by Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. A cherished piece of the American songbook, Rhapsody in Blue celebrates its centennial in 2024.
