World Premiere Of Tom Gold's LE VOYAGE Comes To Bohemian National Hall

For the 2025 spring season of Tom Gold Dance, Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11 in the Grand Ballroom at Bohemian National Hall, The Juilliard School's first-ever jazz voice graduate student Olivia Chindamo and versatile pianist Matthew Sheens join the New York City-based classical dance company in the World Premiere of Le Voyage, an evening-length work inspired by the Moulin Rouge and French Cinema  from Tom Gold Dance founder and director Tom Gold.

Dancers Emily Cardea, Harrison Coll, Jourdan Epstein, Brian Gephart, Cara Seymour, and Jonathan Windham are also currently scheduled to perform on the Company's annual spring program, which will be presented in a different venue for the first time since 2018. An additional musician will be named later.

Chindamo and Sheens first appeared with Tom Gold Dance in Calderwood Hall at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston on October 8, 2024, when, for the opening of its Édouard Manet retrospective, Manet: A Model Family, the Gardner asked Gold to imagine what Manet might have encountered if he visited the Moulin Rouge in Paris. The Gardner commission serves as a springboard to Gold's cabaret-style theater-in-the-round Le Voyage at Bohemian National Hall.

Le Voyage will feature “Chanson D'Andy,” “Le Pont Transbordeu,” Toujours Jamais,” and other songs by Michel Legrand from Jacques Demy's 1967 comedy Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, as well Legrand's “Je Ne Pourrai Jamais Vivre Sans Toi” from Demy's 1964 Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, Léo Chauliac and Charles Trenet's “Que Reste – Il De Nos Amours,” Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's “C'est Le Printemps,” and “L'Arlésienne,” an original composition from Sheens.
