This mixed repertory program features the Company Premiere of Les Rendezvous, one of Sir Frederick Ashton’s signature works. Set to music from the opera L’Enfant prodigue by Daniel Francois Espirit Auber, this suite of light-hearted dances for young people in a park was the first major ballet created by Ashton for the Vic-Wells Company in London. The exotic Méditation from Thaïs set to Jules Massenet’s “Méditation” illuminates another part of the Ashton heritage. Rounding out the program are encore performances of Clear from choreographer Stanton Welch with music by Johann Sebastian Bach, and Clark Tippet’s Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 set to the famous violin concerto by Max Bruch.
