The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra
Choreography by John Clifford | Music by Benjamin Britten
Through playful and vibrant movements, the dancers represent each section of the orchestra — strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, displaying the layers of different instruments that come together to create a unified sound. Perfect for audiences of all ages, this piece combines classical ballet technique with an introduction to the world of orchestral music.
