“Brilliant” —San Francisco Chronicle

Experience an evening of electrifying choreography with two recent works by visionary choreographer Alonzo King. “Ode to Alice Coltrane” explores Coltrane’s spiritual soundscapes, diving into the composer, pianist, and harpist’s masterpieces, including Journey In Satchidananda, recognized as one of the greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone. The program also captures the imaginative storytelling of Maurice Ravel in Ma mère l’oye as the company puts a contemporary twist on Ravel’s 1912 suite of Mother Goose fairy tales.
