The Ballet Chicago Studio Company brings five exciting works to the Harris Theater stage:
Balanchine’s brilliant Divertimento No. 15 (1956), his romantic ValseFantaisie
(1967), his virtuoso romp, Tarantella (1964), Daniel Duell’s evocative Ellington Suite, and the Ballet Chicago premiere of resident choreographer Ted Seymour’s Brahms Intermezzi, performed with live piano.
Composed in 1970, Duke Ellington’s colorful symphonic masterpiece powerfully evokes the many moods of the mighty Mississippi. Duell’s evocative and jazzy suite of five dances visually brings to life these moods, with images from the serene and romantic to swirling, highoctane energy.
