Twyla Tharp 60th Anniversary at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

01.31.25

Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents two performances on February 15 and 16 celebrating the 60th anniversary of Twyla Tharp, one of the greatest choreographers of our time. Twyla Tharp’s ability to merge music and movement into works of startling originality and beauty has cemented her legacy, and this program reaffirms her place as one of the great artists of our era.

The performances feature two remarkable pieces:

Twyla Tharp is the first and only choreographer to take on Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, a composition known for its complexity and wit. Each section of the score—distinct in mood and texture—is met with Tharp’s signature approach, ranging from tender and teasing to transcendent and cheeky. Dancers effortlessly shift between ballet, jazz, modern, and unexpected moments of social and street dance, showcasing the full range of their technical prowess.

Philip Glass’s Aguas da Amazonia, arranged and recorded by members of Third Coast Percussion in collaboration with Tharp, offers a striking contrast. Performed on a unique collection of custom-designed percussion instruments, this piece channels the rhythmic energy of the Amazon, creating a mesmerizing fusion of sound and movement.

Tickets start at $44.07
Saturday, February 15 – 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, February 16 – 1 p.m.
 

Segerstrom Center for the Arts, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa.
