Explore the relationship between music and dance as BlueWater collaborates with Ohio Contemporary Ballet in a program featuring dance favorites including— Sehnsucht, choreographed by Nicholas Rose to the music of Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and Heinz Poll’s Adagio for Two, set to Albinoni’s Adagio in G minor. The orchestra will solo in Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major by Franz Schubert.
The highly acclaimed BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, featuring world-class professional musicians from the region, and Ohio Contemporary Ballet is excited to unite once again for a synergistic creative endeavor. Building on successful past projects, including a virtual performance during the pandemic in 2020 and another joint effort in 2022, this continued alliance demonstrates a shared commitment to enriching the community through innovative and inspiring cultural experiences. Maestro Daniel Meyer and Dr. Margaret Carlson will share glimpses behind the scenes into the discussions and choices that help guide the program selection prior to the show.
BlueWater Chamber Orchestra is committed to expanding the boundaries of what a chamber orchestra can be. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Daniel Meyer we’re creating an era of lively creative performance and educational experiences. Reaching out to listeners via neighborhood-based programs that bring classical music directly to their doors, we perform at various venues across the region including Church of the Covenant in University Circle, Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights and The Breen Center for the Performing Arts at Saint Ignatius High School in Ohio City. Special educational and outreach concerts have taken the orchestra to Cleveland Metropolitan School District facilities, Rocky River, and Mansfield. BlueWater musicians also perform in various smaller ensembles throughout the region. Committed to welcoming new audiences while serving established chamber music aficionados, BlueWater celebrates the luminous world of inspiring chamber orchestra music.
Sehnsucht
Ohio Contemporary Ballet proudly commissioned Sehnsucht, a stunning work choreographed by the renowned Nicholas Rose. Nicholas began his dance journey right here with Ohio Contemporary Ballet before gracing the stages of Dance Theatre of Harlem and The National Ballet of Canada. Now based in Europe, he has cultivated an inspiring career as a performer, educator, and choreographer, leaving an indelible mark on the world of dance.
