Brilliant, bold, and not to be missed—Pointeworks returns to The Conrad this summer with "Nocturnes: Five Ballets," an evening of extraordinary dance and live music. Curated by Artistic Director Sophie Williams, Season Three brings together world-class artists from across the country in a dynamic program choreographed entirely by women.
The performance features two world premieres: Jacquelyn Long’s new ballet, "Moving Forces," with an original score by award-winning composer Katie Jenkins, performed live by virtuosic pianist Joshua Mhoon and violinist Julia Choi, and a new creation by acclaimed choreographer Keerati Jinakunwiphat, a 2023 Princess Grace Award winner and the first Asian American woman commissioned to create for New York City Ballet.
The heart of "Nocturnes" lies in three ballets that illuminate love in its many forms. Audiences will experience the Northern Hemisphere premiere of Andrea Schermoly’s Romeo and Juliet, a poetic reimagining of Shakespeare’s timeless romance; Dani Rowe’s Unsaid, staged by the legendary Sofiane Sylve and hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “another dark heartbreaker” that earned a standing ovation; and the return of Reka Gyulai’s Transcendence, which enthralled audiences last season with its sweeping imagery and powerful exploration of love’s endurance.
With groundbreaking premieres, richly imagined love stories, and commanding contemporary works, Nocturnes expands the boundaries of ballet—making dance more relevant, immersive, and electrifying than ever.
The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center
The Baker-Baum Concert Hall is an intimate performance space with superb acoustics ideally suited for chamber music and classical recitals. In addition, its design incorporates state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics, making it a world class space for amplified concerts, film, dance, theatre, lectures, and more. A wooden grillage frames the elegant curvature to the seating area creating a shape reminiscent of a European opera house. Outside this framework, lighting washes the walls in color to create a sense of space beyond.
