Spring Works features Maria Konrad’s new Bonjour le Monde!, contemporary works by Krista King Doherty and Heather Iler and George Balanchine’s classical Serenade accompanied by Triangle Music Philharmonic. This impressive production has something for everyone!

The children’s ballet Bonjour le Monde is a world premiere that has many unique French inspirations. There will be Chanel, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent shoppers from the fashion scene of Paris. Picture Frames with dancers moving in and around individual frames. Oversized Renoir flowers capture the beauty of French paintings.  Young French mimes encasing Le Rose. The main character, Ellie, and her friends dance with a balloon man that has captured their attention.  All of these pieces are accompanied by famous French singers from the past and present. Bonjour le Monde will be a stimulating and entertaining experience for all ages.

Contemporary ensembles by Krista King Doherty and Heather Iler.  ‘Mechanism’ is captivating with its foot-stomping formations that fade into soft moments that are seamless and riveting. ‘Experience’ begins soft and changes to a dynamic, syncopated movement that is fresh as a breath of air.   Both received awards from Youth American Grand Prix and American Dance Competition Semi Regional competitions.

The classical ballet, Serenade by George Balanchine.  Balanchine was one of the most influential 20th century choreographers that was titled the father of ballet in America.  Nearly all professional ballet companies around the world perform his work.  Cary Ballet Company is proud to be the first in this area as a youth organization to have been approved by The Balanchine Trust Foundation to perform this monumental piece. And to bring this performance to a full artistic circle, the Triangle Music Philharmonic will perform Tchaikovsky’s Serenade live!! It is a major milestone in our history to perform Serenade with a live orchestra!
