The Firebird with Xian Zhang

Behold the majesty and wonder of solo Bach, as Principal Cello Jonathan Spitz spins this mesmerizing theme from thin air.

The valencia orange, described as “a thing of nature, yet so complex and extraordinary” inspired this expertly-crafted spring quartet.

Naqvi calls this piece “a vision of our planet years from now … the quiet and peacefulness of a world restoring itself.” Nimbus Dance joins with brand new choreography, titled “Dark Water.”

Stravinsky loved the Romantics like Tchaikovsky, and created this charming and lilting Divertimento after him.

Stravinsky's The Firebird has one of the most exciting finales in all classical music, brought to life here with Nimbus Dance at center stage for the Newark concerts. In a dramatic and inventive departure from traditional renditions, Samuel Pott and Nimbus Dance reimagine The Firebird blending myth and modernity. In this tale, an Icarus-like figure, and a girl from a family in turmoil, seek freedom and liberation through flight.
