FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Linda Diamond and Company, a professional modern dance group based both in 
NYC and Woodstock, N.Y. has an interesting program entitled "Jewish roots 
in Modern Dance". There is a program in Sephardic music and contemporary 
dance style which includes several works by the late Anna Sokolow, who 
created four of her last works specifically for the Linda Diamond & Company 
group.

Three of these works are entitled "Durme Durme" (from the song of the same 
title, a lullaby), "Una Semana" (from the song "La Semana") and "Como La 
Luna y el Sol" (from the song of the same title). There is also a 
contemporary work "Amor" (the last work she ever created, at age 88). Other 
works include "Kaddish" revised for Linda Diamond (a solo work dating from 
1944).

Other Sephardic pieces are by choreographer LINDA DIAMOND and include: "Las 
Escondidas" (a collage of music pieces), "La Prometida" (the Intended one), 
and "Mamma Mia".

In addition to these Sephardic works, there is "Secret Annexe" (based on 
the Diary of Anne Frank), a solo work which is now in the archives of 
Lincoln Center Dance Collection, The Dance Library of Israel, and the 
Holocaust Museum archives in Washington D.C. Other works include "Hommage 
to Chagall" with music by Steve Reich and David Goldberg, and Hari Deuter.
