Miami City Ballet: Fall Mix

Serenade (Balanchine / Tchaikovsky)
In The Upper Room (Tharp / Glass)
World Premiere (Roberts / TBD)

Program Includes:
Serenade
Balanchine / Tchaikovsky

Created in 1934, Balanchine’s iconic Serenade is heralded for launching a new direction in classical ballet, one veering away from storytelling to impassioned plotless movement. Set to a spellbinding Tchaikovsky score, to experience Serenade is simply to appreciate its lasting beauty and to cheer for what followed.

In the Upper Room
Tharp / Glass

Twyla Tharp’s 1986 sensation In The Upper Room is described by The New York Times as “a knockout work” that “shows you how well Ms. Tharp knew to build excitement.” Performed to a compelling Philip Glass score, the piece brilliantly combines a broad spectrum of movement into one vigorous vocabulary; boxing, tap dance, yoga, ballet and modern dance are intertwined.
 
World Premiere of Sea Change
Roberts / Adams

Former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater artist and choreographer, Miami-native Jamar Roberts returns home for a highly anticipated powerful new work.
