San Francisco

The Brazilian dance company brings two works from its rich history to Berkeley and Los Angeles.

The LA Seen festival reaches its climax with 100 dancers performing rare Graham works, plus a premiere by choreographer Lula Washington.

Patricia Racette directs this top-notch production at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, which welcomed its first class 50 years ago.

Performed aboard the RMS Queen Mary, the production is a madcap but ultimately loving homage to the composer.

The organization has unveiled its 2025–2026 schedule, which features no shortage of ambitious productions and world-class artists.

The company is staging composer Héctor Armienta’s intrepid 2022 opera following the success of last year’s Florencia en el Amazonas.

The Berkeley klezmer trio, joined by clarinetist Joel Rubin, brings to light music from the decades before World War II.

SFB reprises two hits from last season: Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s Broken Wings and Frederick Ashton’s Marguerite and Armand.

Kicking off The Soraya’s LA Seen festival, Blanchard plays excerpts from Champion and Fire Shut Up in My Bones.

The acclaimed choreographer’s new work, Areas of Relief, finds inspiration in the singular music of jazz guitarist Mary Halvorson.
