This diverse season of programming
honors both Jerome Robbins and Robert Joffrey, two great contributors to American dance, and salutes Ballets Russes in its centennial year. We look
forward to the young talent that is emerging in America today, such as Edwaard Liang and Christopher Wheeldon, whose contribution is vital to the future of ballet.
I am very proud to be a part of The Joffery Ballet and it is my hope that you will enjoy this exciting repertoire danced at the
highest possible level by this truly
wonderful company.
