Laine Habony: A choreographer from New York City Ballet, celebrated for her dynamic and refreshing approach to dance.
DaYoung Jung: Presenting a third exciting premiere that promises to push boundaries and inspire.
"Carousel" Duet by Christopher Wheeldon:
This timeless piece will be accompanied by live piano orchestration. Its enchanting and whimsical nature offers a delightful contrast to the evening’s contemporary works, sure to sweep you off your feet.
Featuring a talented cast of 12 international dancers, this season promises a thrilling mix of classical and contemporary styles, dramatic intensity, and emotional depth. The program highlights creative collaborations that blend ballet with live music and visual art, celebrating both local and international artistic talent.
Given last year’s sold-out performance, we recommend reserving your seats in advance for this one-night-only event to ensure you don’t miss this extraordinary experience.
