From the organizers:
This program celebrates San Diego Ballet's resident composers Gilbert Castellanos and Charles McPherson.
Get swept away as Southern California’s hottest Jazz musicians accompany San Diego’s most acclaimed dance company live in this unique venue. This year’s offering will feature the world premieres of new works by both composers. Castellanos’ “Mi Tierra” (My Land) is a deeply personal rumination on the artists and places that formed him as a musician, while McPherson’s ebullient “Bird” pays tribute to arguably the most influential jazz innovator of our time, alto saxophonist Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.
Tickets:
Show + Dessert and Coffee Reception with Dancers and Musicians: $60
