About this Performance:
Los Angele's Ballet makes its Hollywood Bowl debut, teaming up with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the first time ever, in a program of orchestral and dance delight. LAB's Artistic Director Melissa Barak choreographs a new ballet set to Gabriela Ortiz's Kauyumari - a spiritual and celebratory piece about music's power to heal, transform, and expose the tangible. LAB dancers also take on Balanchine's jazzy choreography, described as "tap dance on pointe", from the 1970 ballet of Gershwin songs titled Who Cares?
Grammy- winning conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto leads the orchestra in rustic, riveting music inspired by the American West and Mexico's landscapes. Copland's symphonic story Rodeo pits a local cowgirl against visiting city girls, Moncayo's Huapango elicits joy through lively Mexican folk rhythms, and Revuelta's Janitzio kicks off the night with a muscial postcard from Lake Patzcuaro.
