Random Access Music and Tokyo to New York bring innovation, movement, and sound together in RAM Dances, a two-night event at the Martha Graham Studio Theater on November 14 and 15, 2025.

This program celebrates the exchange between music and dance, featuring acclaimed dancer and choreographer Henning Rübsam in dynamic new collaborations with the composers and performers of RAM.
 

Rübsam Rübsam will be joined onstage by dancers Violetta Klimczewska and Hélène Taddei Lawson in music by Beata Moon and Masatora Goya.
 

The concert presents three world premieres commissioned by Random Access Music and Thomas Piercy—new works by Beata Moon, Frances White, and Andrea Casarrubios—together with recent compositions by Masatora Goya and Roger Stubblefield.

As part of the “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” project, audiences will also hear the premieres of 15 one-minute duos for hichiriki and low flutes, composed by Nantenaina Andriamorasata, Vahan Luder Artinian, David Bohn, Ross James Carey, Monica Chew, Philip Czapłowski, Douglas DaSilva, Paolo Geminiani, Simon Hutchinson, Sakiko Kosaka, Matt A. Mason, Gene Pritsker, Allen Schulz, Jane Wang, and Dalen Wuest. These miniature works, performed by Thomas Piercy (hichiriki) and Lish Lindsey (flutes), explore the delicate interplay between East and West—melding the sounds of the ancient Japanese instrument with the sound of the modern Western instrument.
