In January 2017, Elisa Monte Dance Company under its new Artistic Director, Tiffany Rea-Fisher and Chris Brubeck of the famed jazz family, collaborated on a new project. They presented a showcase at the Association of Performing Arts Professionals Conference. When the music and dance ended, the ensembles were greeted with an immediate standing ovation. Monte’s dancers moved to the Brubeck tunes with a new kind of jazzy and joyful step as Chris and his band, Triple Play grooved.

EMD Does Brubeck was the first collaboration between Chris Brubeck and Rea-Fisher. The piece premiered at the Lake Placid Center for the arts last summer to rave reviews and a sold out house.

Elisa Monte Dance Company joins Chris Brubeck’s band, Triple Play again this summer for a jazz-inspired collaboration set to the music of Dave and Chris Brubeck.
