We are thrilled to be joining forces with the incredible Boise Phil and Maestro Eric Garcia to produce a unique performance of music and dance together on stage.
The Phil will open the show with a tribute to classical ballet’s most iconic composer, with Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty Suite.
In the second act, we will see the music take physical form with two very different choreographic and musical compositions. Opening the act is Terence Marling’s Twice (Once) set to the gorgeous music of contemporary composer Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms. This is a subtle, yet stirring piece that contemplates the afterlife, drawn from very personal experiences of both composer and choreographer. Closing out the program is Justin Peck’s heralded Pulcinella Variations set to the jubilant and complex music of Igor Stravinsky’ score of the same name. Created for the New York City Ballet, this work exemplifies all of the dynamic range and technical invention and virtuosity that Peck is famous for and our dancers exemplify so well.
