Thomas Adès Leads Choreographed Premieres of His Works

On July 12-13, Thomas Adès led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in two unprecedented collaborative dance premiere performances with the Royal Ballet and Company Wayne McGregor, performing choreography by Wayne McGregor set to music by Adès.

In addition to the world premiere choreographed performance of Adès's new ballet Inferno (premiered in concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel last May), the Royal Ballet and Company Wayne McGregor joined The Los Angeles Philharmonic to perform two other works choreographed by McGregor: "Outlier" (West Coast premiere), which is set to Adès's Violin Concerto "Concentric Paths"; and the world premiere of "LIVING ARCHIVE: AN AI PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE", set to Adès's In Seven Days, which McGregor choreographed using "LIVING ARCHIVE" - an AI-driven choreographic tool designed by the Google Arts and Culture Lab. 

Listen to Thomas Adès's Violin Concerto "Concentric Paths" (2005):
