ABOUT BALLET HISPANICO Celebrating 41 years of dance and culture, Ballet Hispanico was founded by Tina Ramirez and is recognized as the nation’s preeminent Latino dance organization. From its grassroots origins as a dance school and community-based performing arts troupe, Ballet Hispanico has grown to become a world-class cultural institution. The Company, School of Dance, and Education & Outreach programs serve as catalysts for cultural dialogue and are the vehicles through which Ballet Hispanico celebrates and shares the dynamic aesthetics of the Hispanic Diaspora with all communities. Today, Ballet Hispanico remains dedicated to continuing and deepening its mission through the artistic leadership of Eduardo Vilaro, a former Ballet Hispanico Company member, as well as an educator and choreographer. Under his leadership, the organization continues to explore and preserve Hispanic cultures through dance. TONIGHT’S PERFORMANCE We invite you to use the following program notes as a reference for tonight’s program. These notes are meant to offer you a glimpse into the choreographer’s inspirations while creating the ballets, and should not be taken as a direct narrative to the works. Nube Blanco (White Cloud) is inspired by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s childhood memories of the beautiful songs of Maria Dolores Pradera. Lopez Ochoa integrates brilliantly the Spanish zapatea- do technique or footwork that is found in flamenco dance and gives it a contemporary twist. Espiritu Vivo, an exciting collaboration between Ballet Hispanico and Brooklyn-based choreographer Ronald K. Brown, explores the intersection of the African and Latino Diasporas in the Caribbean and Latin America. Using narrative, tradition, and dance forms from these regions, the work explores the stages of grief after tragedy: the news, prayer, spring and new day. Club Havana Latin Dancing at its best. The intoxicating rhythms of the Conga, Rumba, Mambo, and Cha Cha are brought to life by choreographer Pedro Ruiz, himself a native of Cuba, as he imagined his very own “Club Havana.” WHO’S WHO IN THE COMPANY EDUARDO VILARO joined Ballet Hispanico ing a program for children living in temporary as Artistic Director in August 2009, following housing and was involved with many aspects a ten-year record of achievement as Founder of the organization’s education residencies. and Artistic Director of Luna Negra Dance Mr. Vilaro is an accomplished choreographer, Theater in Chicago.

“But if we are to talk about the future of classical music in America, sooner or later, the Knights will come up...musicians with a modern sensibility, a wide repertory of works new and old, along with a crusading musical mission...” - The Los Angeles Times

ABOUT THE KNIGHTS The Knights are a fellowship of adventurous musicians who cultivate collaborative music making and who creatively engage audiences in the shared joy of musical performance. Based in New York City, The Knights expand the orchestral concert experience with their diverse programming, innovative formats, and unique atmosphere of camaraderie that creates the intimacy and immediacy of chamber music. Led by conductor Eric Jacobsen, The Knights perform in a wide spectrum of concert venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tonic, the Brooklyn Lyceum, Le Poisson Rouge, Cel- ebrate Brooklyn, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Central Park, Mass MoCA, and the Whitney Museum. Also in demand on the international stage, they have appeared at the Dresden Musikfestspiele, the National Gallery in Dublin, and Berlin’s Radialsystem. Their expanding presence on the music festival scene includes performances at the Ravinia Festival, the International Beethovenfest in Bonn, and at the Caramoor Fall Festival with Yo-Yo Ma. The orchestra’s extensive repertoire features traditional and contemporary masterworks of classical, popular, and world music in collaboration with leading artists including sopranos Dawn Upshaw and Susan Narucki, violinist Gil Shaham, flutist Paula Robison, singer-songwriter (and Knights violinist) Christina Courtin, Iranian ney (Persian bamboo flute) virtuoso Siamak Jahangiri, pianist Steven Beck, fiddler Mark O’Connor, Syrian clarinetist/composer Kinan Azmeh,

30 and cellist Jan Vogler. Dedicated to the music of our time, The Knights have served as the resi- dent chamber orchestra of the MATA Festival for young composers, premiering new works by Christopher Tignor and Prix-de-Rome winner Yotam Haber. The ensemble has worked closely with composer Osvaldo Golijov, performing his “Passion According to St. Mark” in the Canary Islands in May 2009 and several of his works with Dawn Upshaw. In a unique site-specific song-cycle with text based on conversation overheard in transient public spaces, The Knights and soprano Susan Narucki have taken audiences on a journey through composer Lisa Biela- wa’s “Chance Encounter at Seward Park in New York’s Lower East Side,” at the Whitney Museum, and in a recording for Philip Glass’s Orange Mountain Music label (released December 2010). The Knights grew from informal chamber music readings at the home of brothers Eric and Colin Jacobsen, now the group’s conductor and rotating concertmaster, respectively. The collaborative spirit of chamber music continues within the ensemble, which provides a forum for individual ideas and radical inquiry. Members of The Knights are graduates of the Juilliard, Curtis, Manhattan, Mannes, and Eastman music schools. As soloists, members have performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Israel Philharmonic, and Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart orchestra. Equally suc- cessful as chamber and orchestral musicians, they participate in the world’s most prestigious music festivals, including Marlboro, Tanglewood, Verbier, Stillwater, Lucerne, Salzburg, and Moritzburg, and perform with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Metropolitan Opera Or- chestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony, New York Philharmonic, and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. Many members of The Knights bring talents that go beyond traditional orchestral skills; there are composers, arrangers, singer-songwriters, and improvisers who bring a range of cultural influences to the group from jazz and klezmer genres to pop and indie rock music. The Knights recently recorded two albums for SONY Classical. The first project featured internationally recognized cellist Jan Vogler in the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 from a live recording at New York’s cutting-edge concert venue, Le Poisson Rouge. Also on the album are arrangements of Shostakovich waltzes and the Jimi Hendrix song “Machine Gun.” Their second album, “New Worlds,” features works by Copland, Dvorak, Ives, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Os- valdo Golijov. The Knights have also joined Lara and Scott St. John for a Mozart concerti album on the Ancalagon label. The orchestra’s first solo record featuring the music of Schubert, Glass, Satie, and Feldman will be released by Ancalagon later this year. The Knights are represented by Opus 3 Artists.
