Back to calendar FPO COPY - REQ 11.1.5

Opening with the upbeat melodies and sassy flair of Who Cares?, this program then moves on to the dramatic Ivesiana (last seen in 2004), which features a section where the ballerina never touches the floor. Tarentella is a brief but thrilling showpiece, and the performance closes with a rousing audience favorite, the all-American Stars and Stripes.
