Three mesmerizing dance works come to life for Valentine's Day. The beauty of George Balanchine's neoclassical ballet, Concerto Barocco, combines with a contemporary work by choreographer Amy Seiwert, titled Renaissance; and an exciting world premiere by Stephen Mills. Concerto Barocco, a neo-classical masterpiece created by George Balanchine, is considered a personification of Bach's music… "see the music, hear the dance."
Following on her success from HER STORIES, choreographer Amy Seiwert returns with a thrilling Austin premiere, Renaissance. Set to the music of Kitka, a women's a cappella vocal ensemble, Seiwert's Renaissance explores music from Eastern European traditions, as it honors the strength of community and women standing together.
TRIAD brings music to life through movement.
Runs Feb. 16-18.

The women in Kitka are fearless sonic explorers, and you can hear their intrepid spirit in every haunting song. For four decades, the nine-woman Oakland ensemble has developed a vast, breathtaking repertoire of traditional songs from the Balkans, Caucasus and Slavic lands, as well as new material composed for the group drawing on those traditional vocal practices. Traveling to rural communities in Armenia and Bulgaria, Ukraine and Georgia, Serbia and Turkey, they’ve gathered songs and communed with elders who are often the last links to centuries-old traditions. The ravishing textures of the women’s voices, unearthly cadences, angular rhythms and unfamiliar languages make Kitka’s performances an enthralling experience.
