Naharin Brings Gaga to Student Dancers
by SUSAN REITER
No one today can fill a stage with more surprising and luscious movement than Ohad Naharin (photo). His choreography veers in odd and unexpected directions, yet everything his dancers do looks inevitable and organic. A new work by the 56-year-old Juilliard alum is a highlight of the March Juilliard Dances Repertory series this month, which includes modern classics by Lar Lubovitch, Twyla Tharp, and Mark Morris.

| | Shenyang Presented in Debut Vocal Recital
by EVAN FEIN
A more meteoric rise can hardly be imagined than that of bass-baritone, Shenyang (photo), who less than two years ago exploded out of relative anonymity as a student at the Shanghai Conservatory to win the 2007 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition. Since then, the 23-year-old singer has appeared at venues around the world, and this month, New Yorkers will have a chance to experience his art, when the young singer presents the 2009 Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut recital.

| French Modernism, Past and Present
by DANIEL DRUCKMAN
The birth of the percussion ensemble as a musical entity in Western music is usually traced to 1933, when Nicholas Slonimsky conducted the premiere of Edgard Varèse’s Ionisation at Carnegie Hall. This seminal work will serve as a departure point for the Juilliard Percussion Ensemble’s concert of three important French works from three different eras—1931, 1966, and 2008—at Alice Tully Hall on March 31.
