La Jolla Music Society Presents the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater!

You don’t just see an Alvin Ailey performance—you feel it. Since its now-fabled performance in 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has grown from a small group of African-American dancers to a revolutionary company that transcends barriers and celebrates the African-American cultural experience. Under the decade-long leadership of its visionary artistic director, Robert Battle, the company continues to honor the monumental legacy of its founder, while expanding the Ailey repertory and developing the next generation of choreographers. On April 4 and 5, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will perform a program including Ailey’s masterpiece Revelations at the Civic Theatre.
