Now playing in this video: 🎵 Netty Simons: "Circle of Attitudes for violin solo and dancer"

Dmitry Smirnov brings raw physicality and daring interpretive freedom to Netty Simons' Circle of Attitudes, a striking dialogue between solo violin and dancer that blurs the line between sound and movement. Rarely heard and boldly experimental, this piece offers a rare glimpse into the avant-garde spirit of 20th-century composition.
