Grand Rapids Ballet: Symphony Of Movement

Symphony of Movement is a dynamic first-ever collaboration between GRB and the Grand Rapids Symphony. Conducted by GRSOs music director Marcelo Lehninger, the Symphony shares the stage with the dancers, featuring three acclaimed works and one world-premiere. Programming includes master choreographer Lar Lubovitchs duet, from his work Concerto 622, set to the adagio of W.A. Mozarts famous clarinet concerto. Aubade, choreographed by James Sofranko, a pas de deux that loosely follows a story of the goddess Diana and a mortal man who enters her domain, set to a score by Francis Poulenc. Ave Maria, also choreographed by James Sofranko, is a captivating duet accompanied by the ethereal music of Carlos Gomes, with the two dancers gracefully navigating a world suspended among the wind and clouds. The final work featured in the program is a World Premiere choreographed by Jennifer Archibald set to Edward Griegs Holberg Suite.
