#9849D - The Harkness Years - David Howard

http://www.danceclassmusic.com/9849.html It has been said the greatest legacy of Rebekah Harkness, the famous patron of Dance, is the way her dancers were trained. The renowned teacher David Howard was Director of the Harkness Ballet School on the East Side of Manhattan during the mid-seventies and the accomplished pianist, John Childs was a member of the staff. They forged a unique professional relationship amidst the exciting and creative environment of this legendary school founded by Rebekah Harkness. David and John remember those times in this excellent collection of music for Ballet Class, including one composition by Rebekah Harkness, and pay tribute to those amazing years with this DVD.
