Richard Alston

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Richard Alston is considered by some to be the best British modern dance choreographer in history. He joins us in light of the New York premiere of his piece Movements from Petrushka, whose score is a piano arrangement of original ballet by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. And British pianist Jason Ridgway will play the piece live in the studio.
