The classically feminine Rolex, sized and styled Dear Friends, to perfectly match its wearer since 1957. It doesn’t just tell time. It tells history. If this is your first time seeing Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, welcome! We are thrilled you are here to discover one of America’s foremost contemporary ballet companies. If you are one of our many seasoned fans, we are grateful for your loyal patronage. You are the driving force that makes our performances possible, both at home and around the world.

Our 2017-18 dance card is packed with innovation and creativity, with the crowning achievement being a milestone collaboration with acclaimed pianist Joyce Yang. In partnership with the Aspen Music Festival and School, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, and the City of Aspen, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will present an entire evening of live piano and dance, as Ms. Yang brings to life the music of Robert Schumann, Leoš Janáček, and Philip Glass, performing alongside the ASFB dancers. Central to this partnership is the world premiere of a new ballet created by noted Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo. This exciting project has already sparked national attention from both dance and music aficionados.

This summer, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet proudly adds one of the world’s most sought-after choreographers to its roster with the company premiere of Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman’s Tuplet. Mr. Ekman seeks to unravel the question “what is rhythm” through an exploration of American jazz, using an original score that incorporates the musical cadence of the spoken word. ASFB will also present the world premiere of a brand new ballet by Puerto Rican born choreographer Bryan Arias—his first commission from an American ballet company. The Boston Globe wrote that Arias’ work is “graced by sincerity and poignancy that glows with humanity.”

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet maintains its high profile as a formidable brand in American dance through extensive national and international touring. With performances in ten cities–from British Columbia to New Orleans–this season is no exception.

Our educational programs continue to directly impact the lives of over 600 children in our home communities, from Aspen to Rifle, and throughout the greater Santa Fe area. This staggering number represents over 140 classes taught each week. The award-winning ASFB Folklórico is a free after school program open to all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, The School of ASFB awards over $30,000 of scholarship assistance each year.

We appreciate your loyalty and enthusiasm and we thank you for your applause and support. If you are not already a donor, we invite you to join the many individuals and foundations that support ASFB. Your valuable support allows us to continue producing high-quality dance, while serving as a proud OYSTER PERPETUAL LADY-DATEJUST 28 arts ambassador around the world for the cities of Aspen and Santa Fe.

In the Studio with Choreographer While ASFB has occasionally hired a pianist when called for in past performances, there has not yet been a full evening of live music. Jorma Elo & Pianist Joyce Yang ASFB Executive Director Jean-Philippe Malaty looks forward to this development: “This is the ideal condition, having a musician playing live. To have that collaboration and both arts being created at the same time, that’s very inspiring.”

What’s more, the centerpiece of the program will be the premiere of a new ballet by renowned choreographer and ASFB regular Jorma Elo, who has collaborated with Yang on a new ballet set to Robert Schumann’s Carnaval. In addition to the new work being choreographed by Elo, Yang will also play the music of Leoš Janáček for Jiří Kylián’s Return to a Strange Land and Philip Glass in Nicolo Fonte’s Where We Left Off.  ASPEN SANTA FE BALLETAT TWENTY Memories and Arts Adventures in the American West

For the past 20 years, he has built a prestigious arts organization sharing two homes in Aspen and Santa Fe.

He pursued classical ballet training at the School of American Ballet and Joffrey Ballet School.

Tom danced in ballets by great twentieth century choreographers: Fredrick Ashton, George Balanchine, Laura Dean, William Forsythe, Jiří Kylián, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor, and Twyla Tharp. Signature roles included Iago in Jose Limon’s The Moor’s Pavane; Champion Roper in Agnes DeMille’s Rodeo; Billy in Eugene Loring’s Billy the Kid; and Romeo in John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet.
