Havana Blue
In a momentous collaboration, the Artistic Directors of River North Dance Chicago and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Frank Chaves and Orbert Davis, explore their shared Cuban/Afro-Caribbean roots for a vibrant new work of original music by Davis and choreography by Chaves, bringing the culture’s rich history to life in a contemporary way.
“[Havana Blue] captured the easy sensuality and many moods of the island, as well as the percussive beat that is so irresistible. There is something about the meeting of the sea and the sky in Havana that is entirely seductive, and Havana Blue taps into all that.” -Chicago Sun-Times
