OPTIMISM IN MOTION

BodyVox presents:

DRAWING ON THE WALLS

Always compelling, remarkably entertaining, and consistently original, Chamber Music Northwest and BodyVox will once again unite live chamber music with bold contemporary dance in their tenth collaboration, Drawing on the Walls. This World Premiere production features the distinguished wind quintet WindSync, renowned for its dynamic artistry and innovative spirit. Following recent collaborations—NINETEEN*TWENTY (Akropolis Wind Quintet, 2022) and Beautiful Everything (Imani Winds, 2024)—WindSync will partner with BodyVox’s choreographers and dancers to create an evening that honors both the voice of the soul through music and the expressive power of the body through dance.

All Classical Radio host Lisa Lipton caught up with choreographer Jamey Hampton and bassoonist Kara LaMoure to talk about a collaboration between WindSync, BodyVox, and Chamber Music Northwest, that’s as bold as it is unusual. Musicians and dancers are building a brand-new work together—without ever having met in person.
