Dancers, Dreamers and Presidents Tickets

Dancers, Dreamers and Presidents is a pioneering three-part orchestral tone poem created through a dynamic collaboration between Daniel Roumain (DBR) and BRKFST Dance Company. The piece was originally conceived as a reflection on American life, drawing inspiration from prominent figures like Ellen DeGeneres and Barack Obama. Since its premiere in 2010 with the New World Symphony under conductor Alasdair Neale, this program has toured with multiple orchestras and dance companies, bringing a unique fusion of classical violin, electronics, hip-hop, and African-American musical influences to stages across the United States.

As part of a wider touring framework, the work is frequently presented in collaboration with orchestras and proscenium-stage companies, offering audiences a contemplative yet forward-looking experience. The collaboration between DBR and BRKFST has been documented in company archives and regional materials, underscoring the ongoing relevance and accessibility of this multidisciplinary piece.

DBR’s background blends classical violin with electronics and cross-genre influences, and his work has earned prestigious honors including the Goddard Lieberson Fellowship and multiple regional Emmys.
