Description:
Taubman Museum of Art presents "Honor The Past, Awaken The Future" a special collaborative performance by the Charlottesville Ballet and students from the Southwest Virginia Ballet on Saturday, March 3, 2018.

Take a sentimental journey through a time period that inspired many women to join the workforce and become the now-legendary Rosie the Riveters, with “Letter To My Love,” a WWII-era dance theater piece choreographed by Rainey Jarrell.

This poignant work will be introduced by special guests from the D-Day Memorial Foundation and set against the backdrop of Paul Villinski's Flower Bomber in the museum's City of Roanoke Atrium.

Students from Southwest Virginia Ballet will also present segments from "TIES," Pedro Szalay's original ballet on the historic Roanoke railroad featuring live music from David Austin.

Both organizations will present commissioned new works created by Virginia choreographers to awaken our senses through art and dance. Don’t miss this special collaboration to honor the past and awaken the future!

For over 25 years, Southwest Virginia Ballet has brought quality pre-professional dance to our community through full-length productions of varied repertoire including classical ballet, contemporary, and new works. They provide, free of charge, the highest quality of pre-professional training possible to young dancers, promoting cultural enrichment and awareness of the art of dance. Their mission, vision, and performances are beyond compare in the region.
