Power of Love

R&B, soul, and pop legend Luther Vandross is beloved for songs that chronicled universal emotions and experiences and became the soundtrack to millions of lives. To celebrate what would be his 75th birthday, renowned choreographer Roberts brings Vandross' romantic, funky, and eminently danceable music exuberantly to life with his intuitive, emotionally resonant movement. Power of Love is a newly commissioned ballet in collaboration with Primary Wave Music and the Luther Vandross Estate.
