The Flying Karamazov Brothers

  • October 11, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Concert Hall Family Friendly Event

They aren’t Russian. They aren’t brothers. And they certainly don't fly. Misnomers aside, this four-member juggling comedy troupe is as wacky as their name implies. A zany combination of theater, comedy, music, and juggling with a bit of philosophy thrown in for good measure, the Flying Karamazov Brothers are the most enduring, immensely popular, and wholly unique phenomena performing today. Chances are, you’ve seen their wild antics on any number of television or theater appearances, from “Seinfeld” to Broadway, and their longtime success is a testament to an extraordinary ability to entertain young and old alike. Beginning as street performers in San Francisco, they have finely honed their juggling skills to the point where they can juggle almost anything, including chain saws and bowling balls!

Concert Hall Family Friendly Event

Described by the Toronto Star as a “dazzling spectacle,” the Shaolin Warriors bring the remarkable skill, dramatic movement, and spectacular imagery of the Chinese art of Kung Fu to the stage. Performed by disciples of the Shaolin schools, these amazing artists are renowned for their discipline and ferocious martial arts prowess, which combines agility and grace. These incredible masters have trained from a very young age in mental and physical exercises, allowing them to perform astounding feats one only thought possible in movies. “They combine the agility and grace of gymnasts with the showmanship of Cirque du Soleil performers.” (The Washington Post) This awe-inspiring performance is fun for the whole family!

MOMIX: Best of MOMIX

  • October 31, 2009 at 8:00 pm

Concert Hall Family Friendly Event

 “The sheer beauty and potential of the human body magnified,” raves The Washington Post about this mesmerizing company. Since the early 1980’s, choreographer/director Moses Pendleton has transformed the dancers of MOMIX into sidewinders and Gila monsters, floated them weightlessly through extraterrestrial terrains, strapped them into snow skis and hurled them through the air like baseballs. Now, in one evening this company—renowned for works of delightful inventiveness and physical beauty—presents the Best of MOMIX, a collection of figments of the imagination of Moses Pendleton that are unpredictable, sometimes bizarre and often out of this world.
