My mother, Sophie Maslow, died of natural causes in New York City on June 25, 2006. I am her only child. Her late husband, the painter and teacher Max Blatt, died in July, 1990. Ms. Maslow's first cousin is the late artist Leonard Baskin. In 2007, the CityDance Ensemble of Washington, DC reconstructed Ms. Maslow's DUST BOWL BALLADS, and in 2008, the same company reconstructed FOLKSAY, which received the Washington DC Metro Dance Award for best group dance. The Board of The Sophie Maslow Dance Company is looking forward to celebrating Sophie Maslow's 100th birthday in 2011 with performances and events honoring her legacy.
