Winter Series

The winter program features the Nashville premiere of a romantic Twyla Tharp piece, Sinatra Suite. Featuring standards such as "My Way," "That's Life," and "Strangers in the Night," Tharp, known for the smash Broadway hit, "Movin Out," dazzles with her theatrical and inventive choreography. James Canfield's brilliant and bold Jungle takes ballet to the urban forest, and Paul Vasterling's neo-classical Adjustable Wrench is a feast for the eyes. Rounding out the program is Salvatore Aiello's delightful Clowns and Others.
