According to Richard Tannenbaum, the chair of the Yerwood Center's 65th anniversary committee, "The Yerwood Center's presentation of Ailey II is a celebration of Dr. Joyce Yerwood's love of and commitment to the arts and our 65th year of serving Stamford's diverse communities. The funds generated through the Ailey II event will help maintain the Yerwood Center's progressive programming and will allow the Yerwood Center to continue to be a resource for Stamford's young people and families." Congressman Christopher Shays stated, "The Yerwood Center is an essential resource to Stamford's West Side community. As a long time supporter of the Yerwood Center, I urge everyone to support the Yerwood Center and to join the 65th anniversary celebration by attending the Ailey II performance on October 25." Ailey II is universally renowned for merging the spirit and energy of the country's best young dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today's most outstanding emerging choreographers. The company's strength, agility and grace of body and soul bring to the stage stirring, powerful performances. They offer an exhilarating repertoire that includes Alvin Ailey's timeless classics and thrilling new works.
