;m the u-
he University of Michigan joins the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to its 125th Anniversary Season. We are proud of the wonderful partnership between our two organizations and of the role of the ' University as co-sponsor of several events on this season's calendar. In addition to
reflecting the artistic beauty and passion that are integral to the human experience, these jointly sponsored events are also wonderful opportunities for University of Michigan students and faculty to
learn about the creative process and the sources of inspiration that motivate artists and scholars.
Several superb productions will result from our partnership. The current season includes an exciting collaboration of UMS, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the University's Center for Russian and East European Studies. This alliance is creating a multidisciplinary festival, Celebrating St. Petersburg, 300 Years of Cultural Brilliance. Among the brilliant offerings in the series is Alexander Pushkin's Boris Godunov, directed by Declan Donnellan, a Royal Shakespeare Company alumnus. It will be performed in Russian with English supertitles. The University and UMS will also jointly pres-f. ent an authentic Elizabethan production by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: the witty comedy Twelfth Night, which will have a week of performances in the Michigan Union Ballroom. The historically accurate
production is presented in association with the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Michigan Union.
We are delighted to welcome UMS back to Hill Auditorium in time to celebrate its 125th Anniversary with concerts and revelry between January 17-19. Some of the high?lights of the year will include a festive gala dinner full of surprises on January 17, and a rare appearance of the marvelous Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique and the Monteverdi Choir on January 18. The weekend will conclude with the Jazz Divas Summit on January 19, as the University and UMS jointly commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
I want to thank the faculty and staff of the University of Michigan and the University Musical Society for their hard work and dedication in making our partnership a success. The University of Michigan is pleased to support the Univer?sity Musical Society during this exhilarating 0304 season, and we share the goal of making our co-presentations academic and cultural events that benefit the university community and the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
hank you for joining us for this performance during UMS's historic 125th season. We appreciate your support of the performing arts and of UMS, and we hope that we'll see you at more of our programs during this milestone season. Check the complete listing of UMS's 0304 events beginning on p. 27 and on our web-
site at www.ums.org. UMS is the oldest university-related per?forming arts presenting organization in the United States. From its founding in 1879 as the Choral Union under
U-M Professor Henry Simmons Frieze to the current day, UMS has sought to bring to the community the very best in the performing arts from around the world. When I think about how UMS has been able to pursue and carry out this commit?ment to excellence for more than a century, six factors come to mind:
1) The incredible support of you, the audience. I place at the very top of this list the outstanding support UMS has received over its entire history from the people of Michigan and northern Ohio. By your faithful attendance and generous financial support -one of our most generous patrons has been a Choral Union Series subscriber for over 60 years -UMS has not only thrived locally but has become one of the leading presenters in the US. Internationally renowned artists and ensembles often tell us following their tours in the US that the Ann Arbor audi-
ence was the best on the tour -in its size, sophistication, and enthusiastic response. Thank you!
2) Our unique relationship with the University of Michigan. Years ago, enlightened leaders of both UM and UMS determined that UMS should be an independent organization, but one with a special affiliation with the University. This unique relationship has enabled us to develop many mutually beneficial programs that serve both the University and the larger community. While UMS does not receive general fund or student-fee support, we have been able to seek and receive special support from the University when we have faced an unanticipated challenge or an extraordinary artistic opportunity. Those who study uni?versitypresenter partnerships have told us that ours with U-M is the most effective in the US. To our most significant, long-time partner, we say thank you!
3) Abundant, high-quality performance venues. How fortunate that we have in a community of our size so many remark?able venues for our performances, includ?ing Hill and Rackham Auditoriums, Power Center, Mendelssohn Theatre, Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, EMU Convocation Center, and the others we use now and have used in the past. Such a diverse array of facilities enables us to provide an appropriate venue for whatever artistic genre we are present?ing. Please join us for the weekend events January 17-19 when UMS returns to the renovated and restored Hill Auditorium.
4) A century of bold impresarios. We need only to be reminded of former UMS President Charles Sink's ability to convince the most famous singer in the world, Enrico Caruso, to perform in Hill Auditorium in 1919 to appreciate the imagination, negoti?ating skills, and chutzpah that characterized the impresarios who led UMS through its first century. The last of this special group was Mr. Gail Rector, who led UMS with great distinction until his retirement in 1987 and who has recently returned from the south to live in Ann Arbor. When you see him at our concerts, please take a moment to thank him for his contributions to UMS. Gail and his predecessors continue to inspire the current UMS team every day as we recall their single-minded determina?tion to bring the very best to Ann Arbor, no matter what!
5) Outstanding volunteers. Put quite simply, UMS could not exist were it not for nearly 700 volunteers who serve UMS now and for the thousands of others who preceded them over the years. Each member of the 150-voice Choral Union, 300-member UMS Usher Corps, 39-member Teacher Advisory Committee, 10-member Student Intern Corps, 46-member Advisory Committee, 63-member Senate, and 34-member Board of Directors is a volun?teer, giving their time and talents to UMS. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and service.
6) Remarkable staff. I am privileged to work with unusually talented, creative, hardworking, and loyal staff colleagues. Frequent turnover is the norm for arts organizations, yet the team of UMS department heads has an average tenure with UMS of 11 years. This is remarkable. Each member of this team -Sara Billmann, Ben Johnson, John Kennard, Michael Kondziolka, and Susan McClanahan -has achieved a measure of national leader?ship in his or her respective areas of expertise. The remainder of the staff is comprised of equally dedicated colleagues who share the management team's commit?ment to serving the mission of UMS. We are pleased to recognize the contributions of UMS's longest serving staff member, Sally Cushing, when she celebrates her 35th anniversary with UMS this fall.
Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or problems. The best place to begin is with our Ticket Office at 734.764.2538. You should also feel free to get in touch with me about anything related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby at our performances, please send me an email message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
'elcome to the 0304 season! In the University Musical Society's 125th season, there is much to celebrate. We can look forward to the St. Petersburg celebration with Valery Gergiev and the Kirov Orchestra, the Globe Theatre's pro?duction of Twelfth Night, and the Israel Philharmonic among many. Most impor-
tantly, Saturday, January 17, 2004 brings an exciting concert that celebrates UMS's return to Hill Auditorium and 125 years of UMS history. Our tradition of bringing
excellent music, theater, and dance to the southeast Michigan community has grown to include education for the whole com?munity -school children, university students, and adults -and the creation of new and exciting works such as those that have come to us through the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The rich cultural history of UMS is one I know you want to continue. Many of you made extraordinary efforts to ensure our future by making an additional gift, or an increased gift, after you learned of our budgetary challenges last spring. We greatly appreciate your support, which helped to keep us on solid financial ground.
I hope you will continue to keep UMS high on your list of philanthropic priorities. If you haven't made a gift before, or haven't made a gift for some while, I hope you will consider doing so. In addition to your annual gift, you may be able to provide for UMS in a more substantial and longer-lasting way, with a gift to endowment or through a trust or bequest arrangement. Susan McClanahan, Director of Develop?ment, would be pleased to talk with you about ways of making your gift that will benefit you as well as UMS. Remember, your gift to UMS ensures the continuation of the brilliant programming and educa?tional activities for future generations.
Sincerely,

UMSannals
hrough an uncompromising commit?ment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bring?ing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 125 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted com?munity has placed UMS in a league of interna?tionally-recognized performing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States
in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been per?formed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December
1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz
Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
and world music performers, and opera and theater. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts approximately 70 performances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in 11 diverse venues in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organi?zation that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foun?dation and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
hroughout its 125-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distin?guished orchestras and conductors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 150-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Eleven years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadow Brook for subscription performances of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, John Adams' Harmonium, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff 's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Brahms'
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Members share one common passion -a love of the choral art.
Ein deutsches Requiem, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began accepting invitations to appear with other major regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream ofGerontius, the Ji Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire. During the 9697 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include per?formances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presentation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
Led by interim conductor Jerry Blackstone, the Choral Union will open its current season with performances of Verdi's Requiem with the DSO in September. In December the chorus
will present its 125th series of annual perform?ances of Handel's Messiah. The Choral Union's season will conclude with a performance of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience in the newly renovated Hill Auditorium.
The Choral Union's 0203 season included performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the DSO, followed by a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. The Choral Union's sea?son concluded in March with a pair of magnifi?cent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufle's mystical Requiem, accompanied by internation?ally renowned organist Janice Beck.
The Choral Union is a talent pool capable of performing choral music of every genre. In addition to choral masterworks, the Choral Union has performed Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra, and other musical theater favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook. The 72-voice Concert Choir drawn from the full chorus has performed Durufle's Requiem, the Langlais Messe Solennelle, and the Mozart Requiem. Recent programs by the Choral Union's 36-voice Chamber Chorale include "Creativity in Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods; a joint appearance with the Gabrieli Consort and Players; a performance of Bach's Magnificat, and a recent joint performance with the Tallis Scholars.
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Comprised of singers from Michigan, Ohio and Canada, members of the Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art.

Power Center
he Power Center for the Performing Arts was
bred from a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theater for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was built to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new the?ater." The Powers were immediately interested, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieves the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Rackham Auditorium
ifty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, Newberry Hall and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only
to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambi?tious ever given to higher-level education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, the Musical Society presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York performing three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Michigan Theater
'he historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. With broad community support, the Foundation has raised over $8 million to restore and improve the Michigan Theater. The beautiful interior of the theater was restored in 1986. In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addition, which also included expanded restroom facili?ties for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000 and the balcony and backstage restorations have been completed.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and contemplation of sacred a cap-pella choral music and early music ensembles.
Crisler Arena
Crisler Arena, home to the Michigan Wolverine basketball teams, stands as a tribute to the great Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler, Michigan's third all-time winning football coach. Crisler served 10 years as Michigan's football coach (1938-1947) and 27 years as athletic director (1941-1968) of the University. The arena was designed by Dan Dworksky under the architec?tural firm of K.C. Black & C.L. Dworsky and opened in 1968. While serving as a site of Big Ten Conference championship events, Crisler has also played host to popular acts such as Pearl Jam, Bill Cosby, the Grateful Dead, and even Elvis Presley during his final concert tour. In 2002, UMS presented its first concert in Crisler Arena, the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra Christmas Concert. The popular ensemble returns for a repeat performance on Friday, December 5.
The facility has a capacity of 13,609.

"Apollon Musagcta, by arrangement with Boosey & Hawkes, Inc., publisher and copyright owner.
Apollo is both George Balanchine's first great work and his earliest surviving work. Created in 1928 in Monte Carlo for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballet Russes, it made an immediate impact on the art form and literally transformed 20th century art.
The ballet is a narrative work, which fol?lows the ancient myth of the god, Apollo. Leto, a mortal woman, is made pregnant by the god, Zeus. On the tiny island of Delos, she gives birth to Apollo, their son. At first, Apollo remains motionless in his swaddling clothes, but then spins out of his constraints, a youth who is a swirl of energy and raw power.
Enter the three Muses, beautiful young female essences who will inspire and direct his energy: Calliope, with her scroll and pen, the muse of epic poetry; Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry and mime, who silently dances allusions; and Terpsichore, muse of the dance, creator of pure, harmonious movement.
The three dance with Apollo, and then each dances separately for him. He watches them critically and rejects Calliope first, who exhausts herself with her efforts, and then rejects Polyhymnia, who breaks her silence and suffers shame. Finally, Terpsichore moves through her solo and entrances Apollo; at the end of her dance, he rises to stand over her with a gesture of triumph.
The young god, then left alone onstage, begins to dance. It is apparent that he now understands his role as the god of beauty and light; his movements are an expression of his
acceptance and assumption of the role. As the critic Arlene Croce observed, the opening and closing of his fists, twice occurring in this solo, represents the surging of divine power through his body. At the end, Apollo sinks to the ground, half in tribute, half in exhaustion.
Terpsichore returns to renew his energy with a touch of the divine spark. Their ensuing pas de deux, tender and romantic, is also an exploration of the principles of linear, Euclidean beauty. Together, their eyes are opened to the wonders of the world.
In the last section of the ballet, the general play of the four young people comes to a close when Apollo hears the call to assume his place among the gods on Mount Olympus. His boy?hood is over: he has learned from the Muses and is now their master, symbolized in the image of a chariot commanded by him as the women defer to his authority. The stairs that led to the tiny point where Leto gave birth to Apollo now lead straight to the abode of the gods. Apollo follows his path upward, surpass?ing those who gave him his life.
Adapted from a note by Anita Finkel.

"Agon, by arrangement with Boosey & Hawkes, Inc., publisher and copyright owner.
Choreographed in 1957, Agon was a collabora?tion between composer Igor Stravinsky and George Balanchine. Together they devised a sequence of musical numbers and dances that updated forms from the 17th century, such as the sarabande (a stately court dance), the gail-liard, and the bransle. The title is the Greek word for "contest," and through this and the work's linear, geometrical look, Balanchine's 1928 masterpiece, Apollo, is invoked. Combining two frames of historical reference -ancient Greece and baroque France -with a modern sensibility, Agon is perhaps Balanchine's most distilled synthesis of classical and modern art, and one of the most influential works of art of the 20th century.
Agon is packed with verbal and intellectual puns (though one need not know that to enjoy the ballet). For example, the work has 12 dancers who interact in both symmetrical and asymmetrical arrangements of the number 12, and the music, which is composed on the 12-tone scale, develops its own 12-sided patterns. The work, labeled "world-conquering" by dance critic Arlene Croce, is completely engrossing.
The heart of the work is an extended pas de deux for the leading couple, which departs from classical pas de deux form and from Balanchine's usual observance of that form. The duet is built on the sustained, prolonged intertwining of the two dancers rather than being structured as a supported adagio followed by separate varia-
tions and a coda. It scarcely offers a break as it builds in tension, offering images of a bond that is tested but not broken. Perhaps more than any other part of Agon, the dramatic pas de deux (a metaphor for the complexities of a modern marriage or love affair), has influenced other artist's ballets and the dynamics and form of choreographed relationships.
Adapted from a note by Anita Finkel.

'Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major by Igor Stravinsky.
Set to Igor Stravinsky's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major, George Balanchine origi?nally used the music to choreograph Balustrade for Ballet Russe in 1941. Thirty years later Balanchine wished to include that same piece of music for the Stravinsky Festival, but no recording of his original score existed so he created a completely new work. Stravinsky Violin Concerto is performed in practice clothes without decor like many of the ballets premiered at the Stravinsky Festival, including Duo Concertante. The first movement is in eight parts, each overlapping into the next. The second and third movements are pas de deux showing contrasting relationships between partners. The finale includes references to Russian motifs in the score.
This performance of Stravinsky Violin Concerto a Balanchine Ballet, is presented by arrangement with The George Balanchine Trust and has been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style and Balanchine Technique, Service Standards established and provided by The Trust.
dward Villella -certainly America's most celebrated male dancer -did much to popularize the role of the male in dance through the supreme artistry
_____and virility he exhibited during his
performance career. Offstage he has been as influential, accepting the role of Founding Artistic Director of Miami City Ballet in 1985 and achieving worldwide acclaim for the com?pany in a mere decade of dance. In recognition of his achievements, President Clinton present?ed Mr. Villella with the 1997 National Medal of Arts. Also in 1997, Mr. Villella was named a Kennedy Center Honoree and was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.
Mr. Villella is recognized nationally and internationally for his contributions to the fields of classical dance and arts education. He served as the Dorothy F. Schmidt Artist-in-Residence at Florida Atlantic University, was Heritage Chair, Arts and Cultural Criticism, at George Mason University in Virginia, and serves on the Board of Trustees of the School of American Ballet.
He has served as chairman of New York City's Commission for Cultural Affairs and has been a member of the National Endowment for the Arts' Dance Advisory Panel and the National Council on the Arts. Among the dis?tinguished honors awarded to him are the 38th Annual Capezio Dance Award; the Frances Holleman Breathitt Award for Excellence, for his outstanding contribution to the arts and to the education of young people; the National Society of Arts & Letters Award for Lifetime Achievement; the Cultural Service Award from the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts (1998); and the George C. Abbott Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts, presented by the South Florida Critics Association (1997). He has been awarded honorary degrees by nine universities including Florida Atlantic University where he served as Artist-in-Residence for three semesters, and Union College, which established the Edward Villella Fellowship in 1991.
Mr. Villella was a 19992000 Harvard Visiting Artist. The Dance Heritage Coalition also recently selected him as one of "America's Irreplaceable Dance Treasures."
Mr. Villella was born in Bayside, New York in 1936. He entered the School of American Ballet (SAB) at age 10 but interrupted his dance training to complete academic studies. A gradu?ate of the New York Maritime Academy, he obtained a BS in marine transportation, lettered in baseball, and was a championship boxer.
He returned to SAB following graduation in 1955, and in 1957 was invited to join the New York City Ballet where he was quickly promot?ed to Soloist (1958) and then to Principal Dancer (1960). Mr. Villella originated many roles in the New York City Ballet repertoire, among them Tarantella, the "Rubies" section of Jewels, and the role of Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Perhaps his most famous role was in the 1960 revival of Balanchine's 1929 masterpiece, Prodigal Son.
Mr. Villella was the first American male dancer to perform with the Royal Danish Ballet and the only American ever to be asked to dance an encore at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. He danced for President Kennedy's inaugural and for Presidents Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. He was producerdirector for the PBS series Dance in America for one-and-a-half years, and in 1975 won an Emmy Award for his CBS television production of Harlequinade.
Mr. Villella has a son, Rodney, and two daughters, Lauren and Crista Francesca. He and his wife, Linda, a former Olympic figure skater, reside in Miami Beach.
The University of Pittsburgh Press reissued Edward Villella's 1992 autobiography, Prodigal Son: Dancing for Balanchine in a World of Pain and Magic, written with Larry Kaplan, in March 1998.
o choreographer is more deserving of the title "the father of American ballet" than the great master, George Balanchine. In late 1933, an invitation from Lincoln Kirstein brought Balanchine to the US after a career as dancer, ballet master, and choreographer that took him from St. Petersburg's Vaganova Imperial Ballet School and Mariinsky Theatre (Kirov Ballet) in Russia to the major cultural capitals of Europe. Kirstein had been impressed by Balanchine's company, Les Ballets, in Paris, and proposed that Balanchine come to the US to hrln hirri establish an American ballet company.
The first result of the Balanchine-Kirstein collaboration was the School of American Ballet, founded in early 1934, an institution that continues to exist today. Students of the school performed Balanchine's first ballet in the US as
a workshop. In 1935, Kirstcin and Balanchine set up a touring company of dancers from the school called The American Ballet. The same year brought an invitation from the Metropolitan Opera for The American Ballet to become its resident ballet company and for Balanchine to become the Met's ballet master.
Although Balanchine enjoyed much success critically and popularly with the Met, he left in early 1938 to teach at the school and to work in musical theater and in film. He and Kirstein assembled the American Ballet Caravan, which made a tour of Latin American countries featur?ing such new Balanchine ballets as Concerto Barocco and Ballet Imperial. From 1944 to 1946, Balanchine helped revitalize the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo by becoming artistic director. For them, he created Raymonda and La Soiinanibula. Balanchine collaborated again with Kirstein in 1946 to form Ballet Society, a company that introduced New York audiences over the next two years to such new Balanchine works as The Four Temperaments (1946) and Stravinsky's Renard (1947) and Orpheus (1948). In October
of 1948, Morton Baum, the chairman of the City Center finance committee, was so impressed by a Ballet Society performance that he negotiated to have the company join the City Center municipal complex (home to the New York City Opera) as the New York City Ballet. Balanchine's work now had a permanent home.
The son of a composer, Balanchine gained knowledge of music early in life that far exceeds that of most choreographers. At the age of five, he began studying piano and enrolled in the Conservatory of Music and graduated in 1921 from the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg. His extensive musical training made it possible for him to communicate with Stravinsky, and it enabled him to reduce orchestral scores on the piano and to translate music into dance. Balanchine defended his technique of de-emphasizing the plot in his ballets by saying:
A ballet may contain a story, but the visual spectacle, not the story, is the essential element...It is the illusion created which convinces the audience, much as it is with the work of a magician. If the illusion fails, the ballet fails, no matter how well a program note tells the audience that it has succeeded.
He will always be remembered for the calm and generous way in which he worked with his dancers. In 1978, George Balanchine was among the first group of artists to receive the Kennedy Center Honors. Balanchine died in 1983 at the age of 79.
he Miami City Ballet, led by found?ing Artistic Director Edward Villella, is among the largest and most celebrated dance companies in the US. The Miami _ City Ballet (MCB) dancers have appeared in over 104 US cities and venues including the Kennedy Center, the 1996 Olympic Arts Festival in Atlanta, Wolf Trap Farm Park, Orange County Performing Arts Center, New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts. North American
festival appearances include the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Spoleto Festival USA, DanceAspen, the Chautauqua Festival, and Ravinia. Internationally, MCB has performed in Europe, South and Central America, and Israel, including the 1994 and 1995 Edinburgh International Festivals, the 1990 Lyon Biennale Internationale de la Danse, the Festival Internacional de Cultura Paiz, and a two-week engagement at Torino Danza 2000 in Italy. Last March, MCB was invited as one of six companies participating in the Kennedy Center's International Ballet Festival with the Bolshoi, Kirov, Royal Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, Adam Cooper and Company, and American Ballet Theatre.
The company's repertoire includes 73 ballets, including 12 world premieres. MCB is best known for interpreting George Balanchine's masterworks, most notably Prodigal Son, Apollo, Agon, and the full-length Jewels, and for pioneer?ing the works of contemporary choreographers such as Paul Taylor and Twyla Tharp. MCB was the seventh and final major American dance company to receive a Kennedy Center Ballet Commission, for which choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett created Mystery of the Dancing Princesses, which premiered at the Kennedy Center in April 1995.
In January 2000, Miami City Ballet inaugu?rated its own Miami Beach headquarters, achieved through a capital campaign begun in 1997. The 63,000-square-foot facility houses eight rehearsal studios (two of which combine to create a 200-seat theater), classrooms, the company's wardrobe department and costume shop, and a fully equipped therapy room. The building is a design of the award-winning architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of ARQ, and now houses the Miami City Ballet School, which opened in Miami Beach in 1993 to train students for professional careers in ballet. The school, which is headed by Linda Carbonetto Villella, has an enrollment of 400 students and operates under the philosophy that a talented child should never be turned away due to financial circumstances. The MCB regularly presents a full season of performances through-
out South Florida's Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach counties, including Balanchine's acclaimed The Nutcracker. Additionally, MCB performs on Florida's west coast as the resident ballet com?pany at the Naples Philharmonic Center.
This weekend's performances mark the Miami City Ballet's third and fourth appearances under UMS auspices. The company made their UMS debut in April 1992.

Sonata for Violin and Piano in e minor, K. 304
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna
In 1778, the Parisian publisher Jean-Georges Sieber brought out six sonatas for violin and piano by a 22-year-old foreigner named Wolfgang Mozart, calling them Op. 1 -apparently unaware that Mozart had been a published composer for 14 years at that point. His "real" Op. 1, published, ironically, in the same city, had consisted of two sonatas for harpsichord and violin by the eight-year-old prodigy, followed by 16 more works for the same forces, printed as Op. 2-4, in Paris, London, and Amsterdam. But the French were not particularly eager to find out a great deal about Mozart when he stayed in their midst for about six months in 1778. He had arrived at the end of March, accompanied by his mother, looking for employment and other professional opportunities. He made numerous contacts among the music-loving Parisian aristocracy, but none of them proved fruitful in the long run. His Symphony in D Major (known as the "Paris" Symphony) was performed once at the "Concerts spirituels," but the performance had no immediate conse?quences. The Concerto for Flute and Harp was commissioned by the Count of Guines, but the Count never paid what he had promised. Mozart's stay in Paris, frustrating and humiliat?ing from the start, was to end with a tragedy: his mother fell seriously ill during the early summer and died on July 3, 1778.
Two works from the Paris period seem to be particularly marked by the hardships endured: the Piano Sonata in a minor (K. 310), and the Sonata for Violin and Piano in e minor (K. 304). In both works, the use of the minor mode sig?nals emotional turmoil and a dramatic intensity not found in the rest of Mozart's Parisian output.
The first movement of the e-minor sonata is, in the words of one commentator, "one of the most dramatic Mozart ever wrote." It begins rather unusually with the violin and the piano playing the opening theme in unison, without
any underlying harmonies. It is a theme of a strikingly wide melodic range and rare expressive power. As in most classical sonata movements in the minor mode, the music soon modulates into the brighter major, but Mozart occasionally touches on the minor mode even during the major sections to prolong the darker, dramatic mood. The brief development section uses con?trapuntal imitation in a most poignant way, and the recapitulation begins with a surprise: the previous unison is replaced by the violin playing the melody against a striking rhythmic accompani?ment, repeatedly interrupted by rests, in the piano.
The second and last movement, marked "Tempo di Menuetto," is based on a descending bass line that evokes the memory of the famous "lament" figure from the Baroque era. The middle section's bittersweet suspension disso?nances, on the other hand, seem to anticipate Romanticism: the melodic contour and the har?monies are very similar to the last of Schubert's Moments musicaux. After this Trio in E Major, the wistful e-minor minuet returns, completi with a coda where the melody becomes frag?mented, punctuated by frequent rests, until a few energetic bars provide the final closure.
The e-minor sonata and its companions in Mozart's second "Op. 1" are very different from the early works for harpsichord and violin. In the childhood sonatas, the keyboard clearly pre?dominates and the violin parts are almost negli?gible. In the sonatas of 1778, the two instruments are much closer to being equal in importance. It was in these works that Mozart laid the founda?tions of the classical violin sonata as practiced by himself in later years as well as by Beethoven after him.
Sonata No. 2 in D Major, Op. 94a
Sergei Prokofiev
Born April 27, 1891 in Sontsovka, Ukraine
Died March 5,1953 in Nikolina Gora, near Moscow
The four movements of the present sonata, origi?nally for flute and piano, radiate feelings of calm and serenity. One would never guess that it was written under extremely harsh circumstances.
After the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Prokofiev -along with many other leading Russian artists -was evacuated from Moscow to areas far away from front lines. The composer and Mira Mendelson (who would later become his second wife) traveled thousands of miles, going first to Nalchik, a small town in the Caucasus mountains, then to Tbilisi, Georgia, from there to Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, and finally to the city of Perm (then called Molotov) in the Ural mountains. They did not return to Moscow until 1943, after spending two years in temporary quarters.
Undaunted by these external circum?stances, Prokofiev composed ceaselessly during the entire period, working on such major proj?ects as the opera War and Peace (not to be com?pleted until 1952), the ballet Cinderella, and the film score for Ivan the Terrible. The flute sonata, begun in Alma-Ata and finished in Perm, was written as a kind of respite between these mon?umental scores, "perhaps inappropriate at the moment, but pleasant," as he told his close friend, the composer Nikolai Miaskovsky.
The sonata received its premiere in Moscow on December 7, 1943, after Prokofiev's return to the capital. Sviatoslav Richter was joined by the flutist Kharkovsky in that performance. Prokofiev arranged the flute part for violin dur?ing the following months; this version was introduced by David Oistrakh and Lev Oborin on June 17, 1944. In this form, the work was billed as Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2. Prokofiev's first violin sonata (in f minor, Op. 80) was not completed until 1946. Yet it was the composer's habit to assign titles and opus numbers to his works as soon as he began writ?ing them; this explains the discrepancy in the numbering.
In the four movements of the D-Major sonata, Prokofiev scrupulously respected all the textbook rules of classical composition. This was a conscious decision on the part of the composer, who strove to create an easily acces?sible and tuneful work that would present no problems for the listener. The classical forms used, such a sonata and sonata-rondo, cause the work's melodies to return according to certain
pre-established patterns, creating a clear struc?ture that fulfills the listener's expectations.
Of course, Prokofiev would not be Prokofiev if he hadn't been able to fill out the strict classi?cal mold with his unmistakably personal style. He constantly perplexes and charms the listener by starting out with a perfectly classical major key, only to jump from there, without the slightest warning, to harmonies as far from that sonority as possible. Then, at the drop of a hat, he is back in the starting key again, as though he had never left it. This rather quixotic way of changing keys is one of the hallmarks of Prokofiev's idiom, and each of the sonata's four movements provides numerous examples. To some extent, this work looks back to such earlier Prokofiev works as the Violin Concerto No. 1 and the Classical Symphony (both from 1917, and both in D Major), while some of the melodies seem related to those which appear in Prokofiev's next major work, the Symphony No. 5, written in the summer of 1944.
Sonata for Unaccompanied Violin in d minor, Op. 27, No. 3
Eugene Ysaye
Born July 16, 1858 in Liege, Belgium
Died May 12, 1931 in Brussels
Eugene Ysaye is remembered first and foremost as perhaps the greatest violinist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a highly influ?ential teacher and the dedicatee of such classics of string literature as Cesar Franck's Sonata, Ernest Chausson's Poeme and Claude Debussy's String Quartet, which he premiered with his colleagues of the Ysaye Quartet. Yet he was also a composer in his own right, and if not many of his works are heard with any great frequency today, the six remarkable solo sonatas for vio?lin, written late in his life, have earned a firm place in the repertoire. And rightly so: these are much more than virtuoso showpieces written by a great performer for his own instrument. These sonatas are among the most technically challenging works ever written for the violin,
but they arc also full of originality in their structure and their harmonic idiom.
Each of the sonatas is dedicated to a differ?ent violinist colleague of Ysaye's; Sonata No. 3 pays tribute to George Enescu, the great Romanian violinist-composer. This one-move?ment work, subtitled "Ballade," opens with a recitative-like slow passage all in double-stops, not unlike the beginning of the violin part in Chausson's Poeme, though much more adven?turous in its handling of tonality. Then the music takes a different turn altogether, assum?ing a character of a free fantasy on a dance rhythm in 38 time. The melody soon dissolves in a breathtaking cascade of figurations as the sonata continues, combining virtuosity and expressivity all the way to its startling conclusion.
Sonata for Violin and Piano in E-flat Major, Op. 18
Richard Strauss
Born June 11, 1864 in Munich, Germany
Died September 8,1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The Sonata for Violin and Piano dates from the period in Richard Strauss's life when he was making his historic transition from the Brahmsian universe of "absolute" music into the New German world of programmatic com?position. The 23-year-old composer was about to abandon the classical chamber genres, to which he had made several remarkable contri?butions in previous years, and set his sights on Lisztian symphonic poem and Wagnerian opera, to which he would devote most of his ' energies in the following decades. The Violin Sonata is a transitional work, written in a con?ventional form but informed by an entirely new musical aesthetic. Everything in this work seems to function on a symphonic rather than on a chamber-music scale, starting with the very first piano motive whose angular rhythms foreshadow Don Juan. Some of the later melodies have a definite operatic sweep to them. Sonata form, with its requisite contrast?ing themes, development, and recapitulation,
nominally still holds sway in the opening "Allegro ma non troppo." Yet the music's pas?sion overflows the structural bonds of the form and creates a movement that seems to be defined less by classical considerations than by large cycles of dramatic outbursts and moments of lyrical reflection.
The second movement, "Improvisation," is a beautiful "song without words" that is some?times performed separately from the rest of the sonata. The highly ornate cantabile movement includes a passionate middle section, followed by the return of the initial theme in an even more richly embellished rendering.
A somber piano introduction opens the third-movement "Finale," erupting in a brilliant allegro that takes the level of virtuosity required of both players to dizzying heights. The sequence of wide-spanned melodies and breakneck figu?rations is occasionally interrupted by lighter, scherzo-like episodes. As a final surprise, Strauss introduces an extensive coda in a new time signature (a faster 68 as opposed to the earlier 34). This section is almost a separate movement in its own right, ending the sonata on a climactic point of maximum excitement.

Synopsis
Before the play begins: Upon the death of Ivan the Terrible, first Tsar of Russia, in 1584, the throne passes to Ivan's simple-minded son Feodor. But Ivan's brother-in-law Boris Godunov effectively reigns. In 1591, Ivan's son from his seventh marriage, the young tsarevitch Dmitri, is murdered, and Godunov is implicated. It is believed Godunov killed Dmitri so as to ease his own path to the Russian throne on Feodor's death.
The play: In the year 1598, the Russian people plead with Boris Godunov to accept the crown. At first he refuses, but eventually Godunov yields to popular pressure and becomes Tsar.
In 1603, a restless young monk, Gregory, learns that had the assassinated tsarevitch Dmitri lived, he would be Gregory's age. Gregory resolves to seize the Russian throne by posing as Dmitri. Princes Shuiski and Pushkin plot to use this opportunity to overthrow Boris Godunov.
Gregory-Dmitri flees his monastery, falls in love with the beautiful and ambitious Marina, daughter of a Polish nobleman, and reveals his true identity to her. Marina elects to ignore this fact and pledges to give herself to Gregory-Dmitri on the condition that he march to Moscow and proclaim himself Tsar.
The rumor spreads that the Tsarevitch is not dead. Troops loyal to the false Gregory-Dmitri defeat the armies of Tsar Boris Godunov, but Gregory-Dmitri's supporters are brutally repressed, and his soldiers ultimately suffer defeat. Godunov nonetheless fears popular agitation. Months later, victim of a stroke, Godunov informs his young son Feodor II that Gregory-Dmitri is an impostor, and he advises Feodor to appoint Prince Shuiski first counselor and Basmanov chief of the army. Basmanov sides with the false Dmitri, however. Godunov's heirs are assassinated by men loyal to the impostor.
Appalled, the Russian people remain silent and refuse to acclaim the new Tsar Dmitri Ivanovich, who now reigns with his Tsaritza Marina.
After the play ends: As Tsarcvich Dmitri, Gregory makes a clever ruler. But he is murdered in 1606 in a plot. Prince Shuiski becomes tsar. In 1610, another impostor appears. Marina acknowledges the new impostor and bears him a son. Following the death of the second impos?tor, Marina dies in prison. In 1613, the first Romanov takes power; the Romanovs continue to rule Russia until 1918.
orn in England in 1953 of Irish parents, Declan Donnellan studied English and law at Cambridge University and was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1979. But theater issued a higher calling, and in 1981, with designer Nick Ormerod, Mr. Donnellan founded Cheek by Jowl, a trailblazing theater company that has performed throughout the world.
Mr. Donnellan has introduced British audi?ences to major and unperformed European classics, including works by Racine, Ostrovsky, Lope de Vega, and Lessing. He has also directed his share of works by Shakespeare, both for the National Theatre of Finland and for Britain's New Shakespeare Company and Royal Shakes?peare Company. From 1989 to 1997, he served as associate director of the Royal National Theatre. In 1997, Mr. Donnellan became the first British director to stage a work with the
It's ElTHEPDEAfH ORjfHE CRQ AWAITS mY HEAD in ttlOSCOW.
Maly Theatre Company in St. Petersburg. His unorthodox 1998 production of Corneille's Le Cid at the Avignon Festival, produced with an all-French company, earned rave reviews and a return engagement at the festival -this time to present Pushkin's Boris Godunov with a Russian cast.
Two years ago, Mr. Donnellan directed the premiere of Tony Kushner's HomebodyKabul at the New York Theatre Workshop.
The recipient of awards in New York, Paris, Moscow, and London -where he won the Olivier Award for "Outstanding Achievement" -Mr. Donnellan is the author of a text on act?ing, The Actor and the Target (Theatre Commu?nications Group, 2002). He's currently at work on a new Bolshoi Ballet production of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.
Nick Ormerod, Designer, read law at Cambridge University and trained in theater design at Wimbledon School of Art. With Declan Donnellan, he co-founded and was joint Artistic Director of Cheek by Jowl; the company has performed all over the world including the Bouffes du Nord in Paris and the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. Mr. Ormerod has designed all but one of their productions. Mr. Ormerod's other work includes Fuente Overjune, Peer Gynt, Sweeney Todd and Angels in America at the Royal National Theatres; The Rise and Fall of the City ofMahagomy for the English National Opera; Martin Guerre at the Prince Edward Theatre, and The Winter's Tale for the Maly Drama Theatre, St. Petersburg; Hayfever at the Savoy Theatre, There are Crimes and Crimes at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, and The School for Scandal for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford and at the Barbican, London. In 2000 he designed Troilus
and Cressida for the Burgtheater, Vienna and Bon's Godunov, Pushkin's verse drama in Moscow. He has recently designed Falstaff for the Osterfestspiele in Salzburg.
In 1992 he received an Olivier Award nomi?nation for "Designer of the Year."
Widely hailed as Russia's greatest poet and the founder of modern Russian literature, Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) began his literary career at age 15 with a verse epistle, "To My Friend, the Poet." In his remaining years, he explored nearly every literary genre, long and short, verse and prose, lyric and narrative, analytical and episto?lary. Nearly every notable Russian composer and many European ones based works on Pushkin's writings.
The Moscow-born son of nobility, Alexander Sergcyevich Pushkin attended the elite Imperial Lyceum, outside St. Petersburg, and after graduation took a position inside the city in the foreign office. There, he indulged in the delights of the capital -opera, theater, gambling, drinking, women -and began writ?ing overtly political verse calling for the rule of law and a limit to autocracy.
But Pushkin did not linger long in St. Petersburg. Thanks to his outspoken politics, government officials exiled him in 1820 to a remote southern province, where he became involved with a branch of the Decembrists, a group of aristocrats who in 1825 staged an unsuccessful revolt against the autocracy. He continued writing poetry, lyric as well as narra?tive, much of the latter Byronic. In 1823, Pushkin began work on his magnum opus, the verse novel Eugene Onegin, which would take him the better part of a decade to complete.
Bon's Godunov is Pushkin's only full-length play. Shakespearean are the work's crowd
scenes; its lightning alternation of comedy and tragedy, verse and prose; its elimination of the unities of time and place; and its themes, chief among them money, corruption, sex, blood, and betrayal.
Ultimately, Tsar Nicholas I released Pushkin from exile and allowed him to live wherever he chose. Pushkin settled in St. Petersburg. He continued to look to history for inspiration in his writing. In February 1831, Pushkin, 31, married 19-year-old Natalia Goncharova, an impoverished Muscovite.
By early 1837, it was clear to Pushkin that Natalia was having a love affair with a French emigre, Baron Georges d'Anthes-Heeckeren. Pushkin challenged d'Anthes to a duel. The two fought on January 27, 1837. Pushkin suffered lethal wounds and died two days later. To avoid unmanageable crowds at his funeral, authorities issued tickets.

Mozartiana, which opened the 1981 Tchaikovsky Festival, was Balanchine's second ballet set to the composer's homage to Mozart and is one of the last ballets the choreographer created before his death in April 1983. Its classical choreogra?phy opens with a "Preghiera" (Prayer), followed by a "Gigue," "Minuet," "Theme and Variations," and a "Finale". In the opening movement, the ballerina is accompanied by four young girls. They are followed by the male soloist, who dances a sprightly "Gigue." Four women enter and dance a stately "Minuet." The ballerina returns accompanied by the male principal for a classical pas de deux to a set of variations. They are joined by the entire cast for the finale.

J. Russell Sandifer
George Balanchine's tour deforce duet, pre?miered by Violette Verdy and Conrad Ludlow in 1960, features eight-and-a-half minutes of the choreographer's signature traits: his surprises, his complexities, his challenging quirks and combinations. At times it would seem more a flight plan or superset, while the dazzle of it suggests the best of Broadway. Balanchine called it "a display piece, based on the music and the maximum gifts of virtuoso performers."
The music was composed for the third act pas de deux of the Moscow production of Swan Lake, but was subsequently discarded by chore?ographer Marius Petipa. The score lay hidden in the Bolshoi Theatre's archives for almost a century. When Mr. Balanchine learned of its existence, he asked that it be sent to him in New York.
In 1964, four years after its New York pre?miere, Violette Verdy and Edward Villella per?formed Tschaikovsky Pas De Deux on NBC's Bell Telephone Hour, a highlight of the early years of live television.

Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48
George Balanchine
Holly Hynes
J. Russell Sandifer
The evocative nature of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C Major leads many to see a story in this ballet, but it is actually without a plot. Cleaving only to George Balanchine's reading of the music's four movements, it offers a rare lesson in how a series of expedient classroom solutions can be transformed by a master into a dreamlike work of art.
An evening class in stage technique was the setting for the creation of Serenade, its swirling movements and elegant patterns depending, very simply, upon who showed up in class that night. In 1934, he had just arrived in America and opened the School of American Ballet with Lincoln Kirstein and Edward M. M. Warburg; Serenade was the first dance he invented in the US. The ballet was presented by the students at the Warburg estate in White Plains, NY, in June of that year.
Balanchine's classicism at its purest fuses with his commitment to the 19th-century artis?tic spirit in this "complete and achieved work" (a Lincoln Kirstein accolade).
Serenade is danced without interruption. The first movement, "Piece in the Form of a Sonatina: Andante non troppo, Allegro" begins with girls in formation. They seamlessly break and re-form into kaleidoscopic patterns, emu?lating the turns and leaps of one among them. Ultimately, they form a dynamic circle marked by big, graceful syncopations.
Into that group is added a late-arriving girl who awaits the approach of a boy. As that cou?ple leads the company in a waltz, dancers begin to exit, until only five remain.
"Temma Russo: Andante, Allegro con spirito" opens with the same five girls seated, delicately motioning, then rising to dance again. A boy rushes in and dances with one, who falls and is left sitting alone, her head buried in her arms.
Lastly, in "Elegy," a boy is led onstage and to the fallen ballerina. After he helps her rise, all three dancers link in sculptural forms until -compelled to decide between the two -he chooses his guide. The final image is an arrest?ing one, as the "fallen" dancer is carried off in a dramatic grand procession.
Adapted from a note by Anita Finkel.
Mr. Balanchine originally choreographed this ballet for students of the School of American Ballet on June 10, 1934, at Felix Warburg's estate, White Plains, New York.

___or the Kennedy Center's 25th
Anniversary in 1995, Suzanne Farrell ? gathered a group of international and national dancers for a triumphant week of Balanchine in the Opera House. The Suzanne Farrell Ballet became a full-fledged company at The Kennedy Center in the fall of 2000 with its debut during the Kennedy Center's Balanchine Celebration. I Suzanne Farrell was one of George 'Balanchine's most celebrated muses and remains a legendary figure in the ballet world. She is a repetiteur for the George Balanchine Trust, the independent organization founded after the choreographer's death by the heirs to his ballets to oversee their worldwide licensing and produc?tion. Since 1988 she has staged Balanchine's works for companies all over the world.
Ms. Farrell joined Balanchine's New York City Ballet in the fall of 1961 after a year as a Ford Foundation scholarship student at the School of American Ballet. Her unique combi-I nation of musical, physical, and dramatic gifts quickly ignited Balanchine's imagination. By the mid-1960s, she was not only Balanchine's most prominent ballerina, she was a symbol of the era, and remains so to this day. She restated and re-scaled such Balanchine masterpieces as Apollo, Concerto Barocco, and Symphony in C.
Balanchine went on to invent new works for her --Diamonds, for example, and Chaconne and Mozartiana -in which the limits of ballerina technique were expanded to a degree not seen before or since. By the time she retired from the stage in 1989, Ms. Farrell had achieved a career that is without precedent or parallel in the his?tory of ballet. During her 28 years on the stage, she danced a repertory of more than 100 bal?lets, nearly a third of which were composed expressly for her by Balanchine and other cho?reographers including Jerome Robbins and Maurice Bejart. Her numerous performances with Balanchine's company (more than 2000), her world tours, and her appearances in televi?sion and movies have made her one of the most recognizable and highly esteemed artists of her generation.
Since the fall of 2000, Ms. Farrell has been a tenured professor of dance at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. In addition to her work for the Balanchine Trust, she has served in a variety of cultural and philanthropic organizations such as the New York State Council on the Arts, the Arthritis Foundation, the Professional Children's School, and the Princess Grace Foundation. Summit Books published her autobiography, Holding On to the Air, in 1990, and Suzanne Farrell Elusive Muse (directed by Anne Belle and Deborah Dickson) was an Academy Award nominee for "Best Documentary Film" in 1997.
Please refer to page 11 in your program book for a complete biography of choreographer George Balanchine.
n 1993 and 1994, in order to fulfill a mission to enhance the arts education of America's young people, the Education Department of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts offered two series of ballet master classes for students from metropolitan Washington and Baltimore with the legendary Suzanne Farrell. This series provided intermediateto advanced-level ballet students the opportunity to study with one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century. Due to the uniqueness of Ms. Farrell's place in the ballet world and the quality of her teaching, the Kennedy Center enlarged the program to a national level in 1995. This intensive three-week program, Exploring Ballet with Suzanne Farrell, takes place each summer and has just completed its 11th session.
In the fall of 1999, Ms. Farrell took cues from the masters of ballet with whom she danced, admired, and inspired to present The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts special production Suzanne Farrell Stages the Masters of 20th Century Ballet. The works of George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Maurice Bejart took on a new life with Ms. Farrell and the grace of the company she selected for a five-week east-coast tour. In the fall of 2000, the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, now a full-fledged company and an ongoing project of the Kennedy Center, made its debut during the Kennedy Center's Balanchine Celebration per?forming Divertimento No. 15.
Following the current Fall 2003 US tour that will, for the first time, take the company to the West Coast, the company will open the Kennedy Center's 0304 ballet season with a full week of performances in the Eisenhower Theater.
Tonight's performance marks the Suzanne Farrell Ballet's UMS debut.
Costume Designer Holly Hynes has been the resident designer of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet since its inception in 1999. Her association with Ms. Farrell began in 1985 when she joined the New York City Ballet, where she is currently Director of Costumes. Ms. Hynes has over 80 ballets to her credit both in the US and abroad. She began as a theater designer, receiving acclaim on Broadway, but soon after found her niche in the world of ballet. Besides being a designer, Ms. Hynes is the costume consultant for the George Balanchine Trust and the Jerome Robbins Trust.
Lighting Designer J. Russell Sandifer is an
Associate Chair in Design and Production for the Department of Dance at Florida State University. He is excited to be returning for his second season with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet. Mr. Sandifer has also designed lighting for sev?eral works for the Urban Bush Woman dance company and has almost 20 years experience with the Seaside Music Theater.
