Since 2007, Works & Process has produced sold-out performances of Sergei Prokofiev’s charming children’s classic Peter & the Wolf, directed and narrated by Isaac Mizrahi. After over one hundred performances, Mizrahi was inspired to create an homage to this iconic work, and during the pandemic Works & Process commissioned Third Bird with a new score by Nico Muhly. Highlighting a cast of eight—including a flying bluebird, a swimming duck, and a running ostrich—with choreography by John Heginbotham performed by Dance Heginbotham, accompanied by Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect, and conducted by Michael P. Atkinson, Third Bird celebrates each individual’s unique strengths.
Performance Schedule:
December 15: 6:30pm
