This dynamic program brings together three distinct choreographic voices, blending innovation, artistry, and musicality. Alice Topp makes her company debut with a new creation Sisu, building on her acclaimed works like Aurum, while Stanton Welch’s vibrant Tapestry draws inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 and the intricate artistry of weaving. Completing the program, Jerome Robbins’ beloved Dances at a Gathering offers a poetic, non-narrative exploration of human connection, set to the expressive piano music of Frédéric Chopin. Together, these works celebrate the richness and diversity of contemporary ballet.
