FROM THE STAGE

“This was one of the best UJA programs [we’ve ever done]—it was a great program and a great event. I was very impressed; I love when we perform programs that are a little out of the box, and to bring in a quality group like [the Joffrey Ballet Concert Group] makes for a special event. The dancers were wonderful, and the performance was a tribute to them, Jacques [Lacombe], the orchestra and everybody involved. The dancers loved the music, the orchestra loved the dancers, the audience seemed to really enjoy it—there was a great energy in the hall.”
Michael Stewart, viola
