Famed for their winning combination of cutting-edge choreography and stunning stagecraft, Smuin Ballet returns from its New York premiere with an exciting new program. Set to music by indie-rock band The Shins, Oh, Inverted World is a commission from award-winning choreographer Trey McIntyre. The company also performs Michael Smuin's own romantic Starshadows, framed by Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G Major", while Philip Glass' haunting "Violin Concerto" sets the tone for Adam Hougland's Cold Virtues. Also on the bill are two solo works: Homeless, danced to the African rhythms of Paul Simon's Graceland album, and No Viviré, featuring the driving sounds of the Gipsy Kings.

Smuin Ballet 2013 Spring Dance Series: Bouquet

Full Price:
$52.00 - $68.00
Our Price:
$27.50 - $35.50

The Smuin Ballet presents this year's spring series, featuring three diverse works that showcase the company's skill and exemplify the fresh and youthful spirit of spring. From choreographer Helen Pickett, who studied as a dancer under Michael Smuin at the San Francisco Ballet School, comes the West Coast premiere of Petal, an effervescent piece set to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Montgomery Newman, that was called "the perfect piece for spring" by Atlanta Magazine. Darrell Grand Moultrie gives Bay Area audiences their first look at his JAZZIN', a sultry ballet set to jazz music by Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Andy Razaf. Finally, Michael Smuin's romantic and lovely Chants d'Auvergne is a series of solos, duets, trios and ensemble pieces set to traditional French songs arranged by Joseph Cantaloube. Learn More

Excellent dancing throughout the program. The first perforemance, "Starshaddows" was the most beautiful dance piece I have seen in a long time.
