Acclaimed choreographer Alonzo King collaborates again with singer Lisa Fischer and pianist/composer on a new work premiering May 13.
It’s not humility or bashfulness that keeps him from basking in the limelight. Rather, the San Francisco choreographer doesn’t stay still long enough for laurels to gather on his imposing dome. But as his company LINES Ballet gears up for its 40th season King can’t avoid taking stock of what has turned into a banner year.
LINES Ballet opens its 40th season at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts May 13-22 with eight world-premiere performances of a new collaboration with Grammy Award-winning vocalist Lisa Fischer performing a score commissioned from pianist Jason Moran. The artistic director for jazz at The Kennedy Center, Moran is among jazz’s most celebrated and visible artists and he’s become something of an in-house muse for King, with eight previous collaborations since 2009.
King’s musical vision has taken flight in 2022, as LINES has performed in Austria, Serbia, Italy, Spain, and France. London-based Ballet Rambert is performing King’s “Following the Subtle Current Upstream” across the U.K. this spring, and his work for San Francisco Ballet, “The Collective Agreement,” is part of the National.
