Soaring. Graceful. Dynamic.Charting its own path, Rossini to Rococo takes us on a musical journey of contrasting styles and eras. Rossini’s Overture to Le Cenerentola opens with operatic flair, followed by Casarrubios’ newly commissioned “Concerto for Cello No. 2” performed by internationally acclaimed cellist Amit Peled. Grace Williams’ “Sea Sketches” offers a shift in atmosphere to the contemporary before Tchaikovsky’s “Rococo Variations” bring the stage alive with world premiere choreography by Madison Ballet alongside Peled on cello. Graceful yet dynamic, this program moves seamlessly between stage, sea, and soaring melody.
