This falls into our Discovery Series, shows that might not have a wide, general appeal, but we encourage folks to try it out and discover a new art form. We feel it's important to offer a well-rounded slate of performances, and with the help of our sponsors, we're able to do that. This is a high-quality performance from a ballet company that will be playing mostly in major cities, and it's right here in our community. We are really proud to be able to present a performance of this caliber. |
