Presented as the culmination of Alchemy Ballet’s week-long Pop-Up Company intensive, Midsummer Nocturne: Minkus to Mingus, Chopin to Copland,<\/em> celebrates the extraordinary talents of young dancers and special guest artists in a vibrant program that moves seamlessly from classical masterworks to contemporary creations, from lyrical storytelling to spellbinding jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audiences will experience choreography set to music by Ludwig Minkus, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Aaron Copland, Roberta Flack, Hans Zimmer, Tchaikovsky, and more \u2014demonstrating how classical ballet can engage in conversation with jazz, folk traditions, contemporary music, and timeless classics. <\/span>The program also offers audiences an early glimpse of Alchemy\u2019s much-anticipated production of The Blue Bird at Capital One Hall (April 10, 2027).<\/span><\/p>\n

“This program reflects what Alchemy Ballet is all about,” said Artistic Director Lorraine Aud\u00e9oud Spiegler. “We honor the beauty and discipline of classical ballet while embracing collaboration, innovation, and the rich musical traditions that continue to inspire new artistic voices. We hope audiences will discover something familiar, something unexpected, and perhaps even a new favorite piece of music along the way.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 2022, Alchemy Ballet is dedicated to providing world-class ballet training in the Vaganova method and performance opportunities while fostering creativity, artistic excellence, mentorship, and meaningful community engagement. The company is increasingly recognized for pairing exceptional classical technique with imaginative collaborations that connect ballet with music, visual art, and diverse cultural traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
