In celebration of Tucson’s 250th birthday, Associate Artistic Director Chieko Imada creates another exciting world premiere in partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival and Tucson Guitar Society. This vibrant new ballet features the music of legendary Tucsonan Lalo Guerrero, Father of Chicano music, performed live onstage with our dancers. Carlos Zapién, vocals. Misael Barraza Díaz, guitar.

Additionally, the program features George Balanchine’s iconic ballet Rubies, choreographed to the dynamic music by Igor Stravinsky.
