Love Songs

Love Songs

A male counterpart to Mr. Ailey’s Cry, this lyrical solo from 1972 offers an emotional journey through love and longing, set to a suite of songs recorded by Donny Hathaway and Nina Simone.

"I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time...
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine..."

This production of Love Songs was made possible with generous support from Natasha I. Leibel, M.D. & Harlan B. Levine, M.D.
