Balanchine and Two World Premieres!
In honor of our 55th Anniversary, artistic director Adam W. McKinney has selected five remarkable contemporary and classical works for Spring Mix – three that, throughout its history, the company has performed and two world premieres. Fall in love again with George Balanchine’s sumptuous and sparkling Emeralds, Jorma Elo’s divine, fast-paced 1st Flash and Dwight Rhoden’s intense and passionate Ave Maria. Be enthralled by two newly-choreographed world premieres – the compelling, primal Rite of Spring by PBT choreographer-in-residence and soloist William Moore and another by acclaimed choreographer Caili Quan.
Choreography: George Balanchine, Jorma Elo, Dwight Rhoden, William Moore and Caili Quan | Music: Gabriel Fauré, Jean Sibelius, Giulio Caccini, Igor Stravinksy and additional music to be announced
