Ballet, You Stay

Shantay with Queer Urban Orchestra in an evening of dance! Two works that changed ballet flank trombone soloist Sasha Romero, principal of the Met Opera Orchestra. Associate Conductor Derek Weagle leads a scintillating ballet suite by Cécile Chaminade, the first woman composer awarded the French Légion d'honneur. The evening concludes with iconic music from Prokofiev's monumental ballet Romeo and Juliet, which narrowly escaped oblivion in Stalin's Great Purge.
