This event has already finished but is here for your information

As the world tries to make sense of the events that are happening today, the Ballet Theatre of Dover joins other artists in raising awareness and promoting peace in our world through dance in a pair of performances of “Classics & More” Saturday, May 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 15 at 2 p.m. at the studio, Tudor Enterprise Park, 522 Otis Drive, Dover. The performance features dances from the classic French ballet, “Paquita.” In “Paquita” divertissement, performers celebrate the power of music and dance with a distinct cultural flairs and style. A contemporary suite of performance follows as “Gods and Mortals” explores life’s tenuous experiences through Greek mythology themes. Special guest artist, Izabela Parsons, violinist and native of Poland, will play the poignant melodies of Chopin’s “Prelude in A Minor,” Brahm’s energetic “Hungarian Dance,” and an original composition “Winds of Change.” A duet with a solo dancer in “Prelude” is a plea for peace and unity. Ms. Parsons was a member of the violin trio, ALIZMA, and has performed at the Grammys, was featured in “America’s Got Talend” and toured internationally. Ms. Parsons’ family owns a hotel in Warsaw, Poland, that has now been converted to a refugee center for families felling Ukraine.
