Get revved up for ‘REVERIE’
Classical music meets modern dance for an emotive performance in Lincoln City
Prepare to be transported into a world of imagination and artistry at “REVERIE: A Celebration of Live Music & Dance” at the Lincoln City Cultural Center this Saturday and Sunday, March 22 and 23.
A unique collaboration between Ping & Woof Opera, whose motto is “Opera for those who don’t yet know they love it” and Pathways Dance Company, “REVERIE” invites the audience to embark on a journey through whimsical daydreams and visionary experiences, seamlessly blending the timeless beauty of classical music with dynamic and intricate dance.
The performance features a stunning selection of works by some of history’s greatest composers, including Chopin, Schubert, Debussy and Tchaikovsky.
Under the direction of Ping & Woof Opera's Jocelyn Claire Thomas, a celebrated soprano, and featuring the musical talents of cellist Hannah Hillebrand and pianist Susan McDaniel, the performance promises a profound exploration of sound and expression. These three acclaimed musicians will bring the works of the great masters to life with unparalleled virtuosity and passion.
Founded in 2014, the opera company is dedicated to bringing intimate and accessible opera and classical music experiences to the Pacific Northwest, and making them available to everyone through donation-based admission.
On the dance side, the innovative choreography of Amelia Unsicker Logan and Kelly Koltiska, the Pathways Dance Company's visionary directors, will showcase a breathtaking array of movement, performed by the extraordinary dancers of the company: Kelsey Adams, Annabel Kaplan, Ophélia Martin-Weber, Anna Olmstead, Anna Reid and Willow Swanson. Their fluid and emotive performances will mesmerize as they interpret the music with grace, precision and creativity.
Pathways Dance Company has been producing thoughtful, progressive, equitable and accessible performances in Portland since 2019. Directed by two emerging female choreographers, the company upholds the voices of women and non-binary movement artists within the community.
This performance is an invitation to revel in the beauty of collaboration, where two art forms converge to create an unforgettable experience for lovers of classical music, contemporary dance and the arts in general.
Performances are at 7 pm on Saturday, March 22, and 2 pm on Sunday, March 23, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101.
