For over a decade, Stefania de Kenessey has composed original scores for Ariel Rivka Dance’s most recognized works, performed around the world. This November, ARD’s 7th Annual Gala honors the unique artistic relationship between composer and choreographer, offering a close-up look at Stefania’s creative process and the journey from an original composition to a fully developed choreographic language. 

The program will feature performances from Ariel Rivka Dance, with live music provided by pianist Donna Weng Friedman, along with original de Kenessey poetry. Hosted within New York’s Rubin Museum Foyer, attendees can enjoy an open bar, light snacks, and a community dedicated to supporting the growth and innovation of the company.
