Music and Dance through May 12
Tue, May 04, 2010
Dance aficionados have been waiting for the Kansas City Ballet’s spring production, and it’s here this weekend, with choreography by George Balanchine, Todd Bolender and contemporary choreographers Toni Pimble and Jessica Lang. The music ranges from the classical strains of Vivaldi and Donizetti to the Broadway show tunes of Gershwin. You have five performances from which to choose, so there is no excuse for missing it! Also featured this weekend are two local vocal ensembles, the William Baker Festival Singers and the UMKC Collegium Vocale. The Baker Singers will sing a varied program including arrangements of classic works, spirituals and world premieres by two Kansas City based composers. The UMKC Collegium Vocale and the Kansas City Baroque Consortium will present Baroque and Renaissance music by French and Flemish masters.
