Discover the most exalted art form on earth. A mixture of movement, music, literature and pure emotion: the Ballet!

Learn: Who created these works of theatrical art, Why they did so, Who were their audiences (and patrons), Where were they displayed - and What effect they had on culture.

In this 4-session intensive we will marvel at some the most famous works (“Swan Lake,” “Romeo & Juliet,” “The Rite of Spring”), as well as more obscure treasures (“Fancy Free,” “Bolero”).

Composers: Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Ravel, Stravinsky, Bernstein

Choreographers: Nijinsky, Petipa, Balanchine, Robbins, Wheeldon

Your host, Pianist/Composer Jeffrey Briar, is a graduate from UC Santa Cruz with Honors in the Independent Major, “Music and The Entertainment Arts.”
