Last weekend I played for the Lexington Ballet in a unique project - a performance of Les Sylphides, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, and the Rite of Spring, all with a reduced orchestra. One person per part! It was wild. The Rite was arranged specifically for this project, and it was really successful. I'm interested in dance and collaborations between musicians and dancers, so when the opportunity to play came up, I was excited about it. And I guess the Lexington Ballet rarely has the opportunity to perform with live music, so it was a very different experience for them, too. These photos are just a few from the rehearsals on the Lexington Ballet's facebook page and the page for the music ensemble, which is a non-profit group called EnVage. Check it out if you're interested!
