2021 Taiwan Ballet Company – Evergreen Symphony Orchestra
“A Ballet Feast of Western Classical Music and Taiwanese Folk Songs”
In Taiwan Ballet Company’s premiere collaboration with the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra, the timeless beauty of ballet is paired with the majesty of classical music, in an original, innovative expression of classical music and dance.
Selections include original choreography set to Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor in its entirety. Supported by the majesty and power of the orchestral score, ballet dancers embody a breath of tragedy, while the rushing waves of the solo piano are a shining light in the darkness. Other works include: the lively Farandole from l’Arlésienne Suite no. 2 by Georges Bizet, an emotional dance set to the second movement of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor, and an original neoclassical valley choreography set the passionate third movement to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 2, perfectly showcasing the expert footwork of our dancers.
The Evergreen Symphony Orchestra excels in reinterpreting Taiwanese Folk Songs through the medium of orchestral music, bringing the melodies of Taiwan to the international stage. This performance features Taiwan Ballet Company’s modern ballet choreography set to traditional Taiwanese Folk tunes, including “Spring Wind,” and “The Torment of a Flower.” The result is a perfect mesh of classic folk songs with ballet dance, brimming with a unique Taiwanese flavor.
