To the Gail Towbes Center for Dance for a sneak peek of State Street Ballet’s upcoming Lobero Theatre show The Brilliance Program: Balanchine, Arpino and Beyond – celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary with an electrifying finale.

Featuring Balanchine’s Who Cares?, Arpino’s Birthday Variations, and a world premiere by Kassandra Taylor Newberry, a choreographer known for pushing artists’ boundaries through audience favorites such as Fold and (con)version.

It should be an unforgettable evening blending classical elegance with bold innovations and live music.

Supporters included Andre Yew, Leila Drake, Scott Reed, and Kostis Protopapas.
