Notes

Endsong was choreographed to the Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss, but was performed in silence at its premiere and at later revivals. At the time of the premiere, it was the policy of the Estate of Richard Strauss that the Four Last Songs not be used for new choreography.

Credits & Notes

Endsong was commissioned in part by the Wisconsin Presenters Network, which received substantial funding from Wisconsin Bell.

A 2002 revival of Endsong was made possible, in part, by The Fribourg Family, Elizabeth Amy Liebman, and the Friends of Ballet Tech.
