Principal Conductor and Music Director.

How do you prepare for a new season? Are there any particular scores this season that you are looking forward to?
Looking forward to a new season invariably involves catching up with “old friends”. Old friends like Serenade, Nutcracker, Firebird and Swan Lake, all ballets that I’ve conducted dozens and dozens of times. There is always something new to discover in these masterpieces and working with different casts for the same work always breathes new life into my interpretation of the music.

We spoke to choreographer Ricardo Amarante (pictured) about his background and the creative process behind his new work, Delight.

We dove into the creative process with choreographer Margarita Armas (pictured) ahead of the world premiere of her new work, Análogo.

We caught up with Durante Verzola (far left) in rehearsals for the world premiere of his new work, PAGANINI, In Play. This is the second ballet Verzola has choreographed for the Company.

From Huntsville, Alabama, Amy Hall Garner honed her dancing chops at New York City’s famed Julliard School. She believed she would be a dancer, not a dancemaker. It wasn’t until she mustered the courage to present a work she created for herself that the fire to create was ignited. Those flames have carried her far, and today Amy is an in-demand choreographer. From Beyonce to BalletX, Amy is carving out an impressive career as she develops her own choreographic signature. Something she admits she is still very much in the process of discovering.
