Fiddler Brittany Haas and her cellist sister Natalie Haas together join family forces to present a new acoustic, Celtic, chambergrass sound that defies categorization! The virtuoso sisters began their musical lives together, filling their childhood home with Bach suites and old-time tunes alike. It was on their own, however, following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions, countries, and cultures, that they both arrived as performers and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music.

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.

You’re going on a blind date… with a ballet. At this special Pointeworks event, guests will select between Ballet A or Ballet B—without knowing exactly what they’ll see. Each choice leads to a distinct rehearsal experience, revealing a different side of the creative process. You’ll spend 45 minutes inside the studio observing a live working rehearsal, then join both groups afterward for a relaxed reception with drinks, conversation, and the chance to meet the artists. This is not a performance—it’s a window into the process. And no two experiences will be the same. Pointeworks on Facebook / Instagram

Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. Step into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving, movement is being shaped, and the creative process is fully visible. As a choreographer, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community, connection, and identity, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration, asking how we relate to one another through movement. This event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product, but with the making of the work itself. Pointeworks on Facebook / Instagram
