The Washington Ballet: When We Take Flight

when WE take flight features three varied works that highlight the dynamic range of The Washington Ballet company dancers. Stravinsky Violin Concerto© (The George Balanchine Trust)?is a seminal work that is faithful to Balanchine?s immortal neo-classical style. Stravinsky?s Violin Concerto is a masterpiece of symmetry that encompasses two of Balanchine?s most ingenious and unique pas de deux. 18 + 1 is a vibrant celebration of dance. In a display of humor and electric choreography, the movement merges with the playful rhythms found in Pérez Prado?s mambo music. Sansano draws from his history and memory to take a joyous look at the past, present, and coming future. The program concludes with Murmuration featuring choreography by Artistic Director, Edwaard Liang. Murmuration is a deeply spiritual and kinetically thrilling work that is inspired by the beautiful flight patterns of starling birds. DOORS open at 6:00 PM. SHOW starts at 7:00 PM.
