He was neither a musician nor a composer, but Sol Hurok did for classical music in America more than almost any other person we can think of. Hurok was born Solomon Gurkov on April 9th of 1888 in Zarist Russia and moved to New York in 1906. A natural organizer, he started with left-wing politics in Brooklyn; that didn’t last long as he switched to representing musicians: Efrem Zimbalist and Mischa Elman, the talented violinists who also emigrated from Russia, were among his first clients. He represented the Russian bass Fyodor Chaliapin for several years (he also worked with Nellie Melba and Titta Ruffo). He then turned to dance: Anna Pavlova, Isadora Duncan, and Michel Fokine became his clients, as well as the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.

Linbury theatre, Royal Opera House, LondonYorke Dance Project celebrate Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Bella Lewitzky in a mixed bill that offers a valuable lessonIf the title of this mixed bill from Yorke Dance Project brings to mind sunshine and feelgood vibes, stop right there. To mark the 25th anniversary of her company, Yolande Yorke-Edgell has collated a programme celebrating female dance pioneers who lived in California (as the British artistic director used to) and it’s not exactly sunny: the tragic life of Isadora Duncan, the white-hot power of Martha Graham, the strong geometry of Bella Lewitzky, and a piece of Yorke-Edgell’s own that feeds on the spirit of all three. Surfin’ USA it ain’t.It is an insight into modern dance history, which started with the spirited, passionate Duncan at the turn of the 20th century. She threw off the shackles of classical dance, restrictive fashions and social expectations to pursue […]
