New York City
Choreographer Pascal Rioult and composer Jacques Loussier, both French artists, listened to Mozart’s “Concert No. 23” and each heard the jazz possibilities in the 18th-century Austrian’s classic score. A highlight of the Pascal Rioult Dance Theatre’s Joyce Theater season is the world premiere of “If By Chance,” set to the Mozart music re-orchestrated by Loussier’s trio and string orchestra. Also on the bill are: “Bolero,” “Black Diamond,” and “Les Noces.”
