Kicking off Diablo Ballet’s 22nd season, A Swingin’ Holiday and More features the premiere of the award-winning, classical Tchaikovsky Dances duet by Norbert Vesak set to Tchaikovsky's score from the opera, Eugene Onegin, made famous by the internationally adored duo Cynthia Gregory and Fernando Bujones. Then Resident Choreographer Robert Dekkers presents a reprisal of his AnOther, to Yann Tiersen’s music from the film, Amelie. Also on the program is the 2015 Edition of A Swingin’ Holiday, created in 2012 by Sean Kelly, former resident choreographer for the national tour of the musical Billy Elliot and former principal of Houston Ballet. Set to the exhilarating music of the 30’s and 40’s, enjoy your favorite holiday tunes by legends Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Nat “King” Cole, and Wynton Marsalis, as well as jazzy renditions of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite, performed by the Diablo Ballet Swing Orchestra, under the musical direction of Greg Sudmeier.
