The 2007 Bard SummerScape festival kicked off with a world-premiere performance by Doug Varone and Dancers. Varone’s new work, The Hollow of the Neck [Victorious], is based on the hauntingly beautiful Cello Concerto by Sir Edward Elgar, the composer whose life and influence provide the focus for SummerScape’s 2007 season and the 18th annual Bard Music Festival, Elgar and His World. This triple bill also includes Varone’s acclaimed Castles, to music by Prokofiev, and Lux, to music by Philip Glass.
