The Library is home to the Erick Hawkins and Lucia Dlugoszewski papers, which are full of the artists' spectacular creations. Hawkins was a dancer and choreographer who notably performed in Appalachian Spring at its Library premiere, and after his association with Martha Graham ended he started his own company and worked with composer Lucia Dlugoszewski for the remainder of his career. Dlugoszewski’s music has been experiencing a renaissance since researchers and musicians became aware of the Library’s holdings, and with this special event we celebrate her music as it was first conceived, in the world of dance. Featuring Katherine Duke and the Erick Hawkins Dance Company, some of Dlugoszewski’s most ardent advocates—pianist Agnese Toniutti and the Daedalus String Quartet—come together for a can’t-miss exploration of the creative team.
