Concert: 5 p.m. — Reception immediately to follow.

Join us for an intimate evening of live music in the studios, featuring a concert performed by the musicians who fill PBT School’s spaces with music every day. This special event offers a rare opportunity to experience their artistry outside of the daily rhythm of classes, in a relaxed and up-close setting.

These musicians are an essential part of the School’s creative environment, shaping the soundscape of the studios and supporting the work that happens within them year-round. This concert celebrates their musicianship and the vital role live music plays in our community.

A toast with bubbles will follow the concert.

WHY LIVE MUSIC

Live music is essential in elevating the educational experience for aspiring dancers. Collaborating with professional musicians within the classroom fosters meaningful partnerships and creates an energetic, immersive atmosphere that recorded music simply cannot replicate. The presence of a live musician allows for real-time interaction and adaptation to the class’s needs, enhancing engagement and responsiveness. This training facilitates a deeper connection to the music, allowing students to observe and hear the musician’s interpretation, which improves their timing, phrasing, and overall musicality—essential components of ballet performance. Further, research indicates that musical experiences in childhood can enhance brain development in areas such as intellectual capabilities, social-emotional skills, gross motor skills, language, and literacy
