NINE SINATRA SONGS
Twyla Tharp’s
Nine Sinatra Songs, made famous by Baryshnikov’s turn in
the lead role in 1984, is a dazzler of a ballet in which
the Tony award winner blends romantic ballroom dancing
and the familiar sounds of Frank Sinatra’s swinging
style.
Choreography by Twyla Tharp
Music: Song Sung by Frank Sinatra
EPISODES
An exciting artistic partnership brings George
Balanchine’s muse, Suzanne Farrell, and her company, The
Suzanne Farrell Ballet, together with Ballet Austin to
perform Episodes. This rare and important work was
created in 1959 by master choreographer Balanchine to
compositional sketches by composer Anton Webern.
Ballet Austin travels to the Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C. to perform with The Suzanne Farrell
Ballet the week of October 6, 2008 and then that company will visit
Austin for a
reciprocal collaboration to open our season at The Long
Center. The performances are
part of The Suzanne Farrell Ballet’s Artistic
Partnership initiative. Ballet Austin is only the second
company to participate in this unique program.
