Romeo and Juliet

with the Philadelphia Orchestra

Yannick Nézet-Séguin - Conductor

Brian Sanders' - JUNK

PROGRAM

Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet

Twentieth-century musical titan meets Elizabethan genius playwright: Prokofiev's three suites from Romeo and Juliet are concert favorites. Here, we present much more of the music that has made Shakespeare's immortal tragedy come alive in performances around the globe. If you've never seen the ballet, you'll be amazed at how Prokofiev's searing score captures all the drama and heartbreak of this immortal story! The performance will be highlighted by selected vignettes from the Philadelphia-based choreographer Brian Sanders. His compact, athletic choreography will bring an edgy perspective with performers utilizing unique materials and aerial techniques. It will be a totally new take on this classic ballet.

WHEN:

Thursday 4/4/19 - 7:30p
Friday 4/5/19 - 2:00p
Saturday 4/6/19 - 8:00p

Jess performs her solo choreography: Un-Numbing

Jess pulls from her own experiences of numbing rejection and pain. She reflects on sociopolitical and personal frustrations, dancing for the cathartic purpose of releasing, healing, forgiving, and moving forward with a sense of belonging, self love, and gratitude.
