Future Forward is grounded in history while looking boldly ahead. 'Hearts Suite' is an excerpt from founder Michael Smuin's masterpiece set to the songs of Edith Piaf. Based on a concept and scenario written by Raquel Bitton and originally choreographed for San Francisco Ballet in 1986, the suite has not been seen since 2015. Kate Skarpetowska's 'Sextette,' a joyful piece set to the music of J.S. Bach, also returns.
Two world premieres cement Smuin's ongoing commitment to new work. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates her 15th ballet, featuring solo piano intermezzi of Johannes Brahms. And Andrea Schermoly, formerly of Nederlands Dans Theater, brings her cinematic and athletic choreography to her first piece for the company. At select San Francisco performances, concert pianist John Wilson will perform live alongside the company. Don't miss this final program of the season!
