Take Five...More Or Less
From the jazzy exuberance of Take Five...More or Less by Broadway legend Susan Stroman, to the striking modernism and classical depth of George Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments, and the elegant precision of his Divertimento No. 15 set to Mozart’s luminous score—this program offers a dynamic journey through rhythm, emotion, and the timeless beauty of ballet.
TAKE FIVE...MORE OR LESS
Choreography by Susan Stroman
Music by David Brubeck Quartet and Paul Desmond
Jazzy, upbeat fusion of music, dance and Matisse-inspired costumes and lighting from acclaimed Broadway choreographer Susan Stroman. With Paul Desmond/Dave Brubeck classics that are playful and addictive.
THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS
Choreography by George Balanchine
Music by Paul Hindemith
Accompanied by Chamber Music Society of St. Louis
A Saint Louis premiere by George Balanchine that is at once classically grounded and utterly modern. With solo piano and string orchestra Balanchine wrote of the ballet that it “is an expression in dance and music of the ancient notion that the human organism is made up of four different humors, or temperaments. Each one of us possesses these four humors, but in different degrees, and it is from the dominance of one of them that the four physical and psychological types — melancholic, sanguinic, phlegmatic, and choleric — were derived." With solo piano and string orchestra from the Chamber Music Society of Saint Louis.
DIVERTIMENTO NO. 15
Choreography by George Balanchine
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Accompanied by Chamber Music Society of St. Louis
George Balanchine’s only ballet set to a Mozart score, Divertimento Number 15 is a ballet lover’s dream. Balanchine considered Mozart’s Divertimento No. 15 the finest ever written, and to compliment the sparkling score, he created a work of prodigious ingenuity featuring a regal cast of dancers. Gorgeous costumes, ingenious choreography, technical prowess and glorious music performed live by the Chamber Music Society of Saint Louis.
