ONCE UPON A SCORE
Stories told through music & dance
Step into a world where music paints the stories we love. From the enchanting forest of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel to the vibrant streets of Gershwin’s An American in Paris, this concert celebrates the magic of storytelling through sound. Journey through sweeping dances, cinematic landscapes, and timeless ballets, from the fiery rhythms of Albéniz’s Tango to the exotic flair of Luigini’s Ballet Egyptien. Let the music guide you through tales of romance, adventure, and imagination, in an unforgettable summer’s evening for all ages.
