America 250 with the PBT Orchestra at Benedum Center
A Star-Spangled Salute!
Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary with a vibrant mixed repertory program featuring four classical and contemporary works that honor the American spirit. The works include The Mighty Casey, Lisa de Ribere’s playful take on America’s favorite pastime; George Balanchine’s patriotic and jubilant Stars and Stripes Pas de deux; Company B, Paul Taylor’s bittersweet ode to America that represents the dualities of our nation’s post-Depression excitement and feelings of despair on the eve of WWll with music by The Andrews Sisters; and Ben Stevenson’s romantic Three Preludes about two dancers who fall in love, featuring Rachmaninoff’s beautiful score.
