Ballet Tucson continues its longtime partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival and Tucson Guitar Society with the highly anticipated return of Chieko Imada’s Himiko. This audience favorite work offers a beautiful blend of ballet and traditional Japanese dance as a tribute to the human spirit, honor, and resilience, featuring music by Yusuke Nakanishi performed live by celebrated ensemble Duo Chinoiserie (Bin Hu, guitar & Jing Xia, guzheng) and soprano Erika Burkhart.

The program will also include the World Premiere of Desert Dweller by Tucson native Margaret Mullin. Filled with vivid projections of striking botanicals captured by photographer Carlos Chavez and set to the music of renowned guitarist Misael Barraza-Díaz, this work will serve as a celebration of the natural beauty of this region we all call home.
