A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director
Welcome to Hubbard Street’s Spring Series during our 36th season
and to our first all–Jiří Kylián program. In fact, it’s our first in-depth
look at the work of just one choreographer.
We’ve been building this repertoire since 1998, when our founder
Lou Conte brought Kylián’s comic classic Sechs Tänze from Holland
to Hubbard Street. We went on to become the first North American
company to acquire three more of his pieces: Petite Mort, No
More Play and 27'52". As you prepare to experience an evening of
work by this great artist, I’d like to offer a brief glimpse into our
performances next season.
Going into my fifth year as Artistic Director, I’m excited to offer four diverse, engaging programs
in 2014–15, from masterful dance makers, ascendant choreographers and improvisational artists.
Each series has a distinct theme serving our goal of nurturing innovation.
Our next Fall Series is all about collaboration, laughter and spontaneity: We have started
working with The Second City, Chicago’s famed improv and sketch comedy company.
Developing new work through improvisation and shared ideas is key to our creative process
and to theirs. It’s a fantastic fit and, already, we’re having a blast. The show goes up October
16–19 at the Harris Theater.
The Winter Series brings us back to the Museum of Contemporary Art, to continue cultivating
and evolving the careers of artists who speak to today’s world. December 4–7, we’ll present
premieres by three award-winning choreographers in the intimate Edlis Neeson Theater at
the MCA.
With the Spring Series of 2015, we will continue to nurture the creative process at our
studios in the West Loop. March 12–15 brings a world premiere by a choreographer who
needs no introduction. You’ll also see the return of a couple of audience favorites, all here
at the Harris Theater.
Closing out our 2014–15 season, the Summer Series brings the next single-choreographer
repertory program to Hubbard Street. I invite you to explore the remarkable vision of one of our
most celebrated living artists through career-defining works, June 11–14 at the Harris Theater.
Further details about these programs are coming soon. What we can tell you now is that it
will be another thrilling season at Hubbard Street, full of the breathtaking artistry you know
and love — not to mention a few laughs.
Warmly,
Glenn Edgerton

“I see my job as a choreographer to investigate the depths
of the soul. I want at least to scratch the surface of what it
means to be human. I want to keep surprising myself and go
to the extremes of what I am capable of doing. I am terrified of
boring the audience.” —Jiří Kylián

Q&A with
Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director
What is Hubbard Street’s history with Jiří Kylián, the first choreographer to
receive a full repertory program from Hubbard Street? We’ve been building his
repertoire here for a while, in an ongoing process. First Sechs Tänze, then Petite Mort, then
No More Play, 27'52", and now Falling Angels and Sarabande. Our founder Lou Conte started
that relationship, which is one that I have, too, having been at Nederlands Dans Theater
(NDT), first as a dancer, then as director.
Where were you in 1998, when Lou Conte first brought Kylián’s work
to Hubbard Street? I was in Holland, at NDT. I’d heard of Hubbard Street but hadn’t seen the
company yet. Jim Vincent [Hubbard Street Artistic Director from 2000–09] started to bring more
work from Holland to Chicago — which became a question for me, directing NDT: How much did
we want to let out? I had to manage this relationship from that end, had to make sure NDT could
continue to tour Kylián’s works, and so had to be a little…possessive about them. [Laughs]
You danced Sarabande yourself. What do you remember about its creation?
It was fun. There are so many things Jiří tried that didn’t make it into the piece. He wanted
it wild, manic — a little crazy. And it still has those qualities, but he brought it into focus. We
were asked to vocalize, which was a blast.
About the sound effects Dick Heuff created: Was he there from the beginning?
Not that I recall. I don’t remember working on that part of it until getting onstage — and that
was often Jiří’s way. We’d be in the studio and he’d be putting it all together, but you didn’t
know until you got to the theater that there would be, say in Bella Figura [1995], fire onstage
and curtains closing spaces, changing the stage space the whole time.
What was it like to be surprised by those things, by the
production elements Kylián would add? [Gasps] “Wow.” It was
awe-inspiring. I’d realize, “This makes total sense,” but it would
never be something I could predict. It was always wonderful
to watch a new work of his unfold.

Spring Series 2014
Falling Angels, for eight women, premiered the year before. Was there a sense that an
all-male piece would follow? No, we didn’t know. I do think he got flak from some of the guys,
like, “When are you going to make a piece for us?” [Laughs] Maybe he made Sarabande in part
as a response to them, but it’s hard to say. You never know with Jiří. It’s easy to assume he makes
master plans because, in the end, his works present such clear, overarching visions. To watch the
works come out, one after another, each so beautifully laid out and all connected in such intriguing
and unexpected ways: It was like watching someone unroll a fascinating carpet, or a scroll.
What can you say about these four works as a set? I think it shows Jiří’s range, which
I appreciate about him and about any choreographer. You will see a thread throughout, but
the atmosphere, the feel of each piece, is totally unique. He’s always trying something new,
creating a different environment for the stage, making it interesting and challenging for the
dancers, as well as for the audience. Consequently, you can see how it’s also about him
challenging himself.

How has your understanding of these works evolved since you first saw or
performed them? I’m loving being back in the studio with them and passing on what I
know. My feeling for Kylián has always been that his works deliver an emotional impact that
you can’t describe. Early on, in the late ’80s, I was touring Europe and a friend and I took a
side trip to see NDT perform Symphony of Psalms [1978], to the Stravinsky score. I cried like
a baby afterward, for 20 minutes — couldn’t get out of my chair. I was embarrassed, but just
so struck by what I’d seen. I’ll never forget that.
What does a dancer need to perform Kylián’s work? There’s an internal dialogue that
goes on when you’re performing them, a balancing act you have to do between honoring
the choreography and honoring the moment. The counting of the rhythms in Falling Angels,
keeping track of all of their changes, for example, or the movements with the foils in Petite
Mort: You can do everything “right,” with perfect technique, handle your foil exactly the
way you’re supposed to, be organized and all set, and the thing can still just fly off with a
life of its own. [Laughs] Dancing a piece of his, you’re on this journey, this adventure, from
beginning to end, and if you lose control of it, how do you respond? I believe that’s the
lesson of his work: It teaches you how to maintain a kind of serenity about the moment.
Which is why 27'52" has the title it does: The piece lasts 27 minutes and 52 seconds, and
you can’t skip a beat. “You can’t miss a heartbeat,” Jiří would say. You have to gather all of
the power, emotion, romanticism and exactitude within yourself, without letting any one of
those things take over the rest. The challenge is to perform that contrast between complete
freedom and complete clarity. Like the sound that the men’s foils make in Petite Mort: that
“Whoosh!” through the air: That’s what Jiří’s works are like. They cut so deeply, and quickly,
but with such refinement.

Six dancers seek and are sought, hold and are held, and push and pull one another in Jiří Kylián’s
27'52" — the work’s duration in minutes and seconds. The piece was developed in collaboration
by choreographer Kylián and German composer Dirk Haubrich, who used two themes by Gustav
Mahler as a point of departure, and incorporated text from sources as diverse as Baudelaire and
Bruce Lee, recorded by the original cast in multiple languages.
“The layers of 27'52" make it quite unique, both to perform and to watch,” observes Hubbard
Street Dancer Meredith Dincolo. “There is rich, grounded physicality to the choreography,
yet abstract qualities in the music, scenery and atmosphere. The juxtaposition of these two
characteristics keeps the piece shifting between the real and the surreal.”
27 minutes, 52 seconds

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Music
Joop Caboort, Lighting Design Realization
One of Jiří Kylián’s most well-known and popular works, Petite Mort was created for the 1991
Salzburg Festival, on the second centenary of Mozart’s death. Central movements from two of
the Austrian composer’s beloved piano concerti provide landscapes in which Romantic images
of battle, beauty and eroticism appear — and disappear. Its title, French for “little death,” is a
euphemism for orgasm.
In March 2000, Hubbard Street became the first company based in North America to bring
Petite Mort into its repertoire, and has presented it regularly ever since.
17 minutes
Created for and premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater August 23, 1991 at the Kleines Festspielhaus, Salzburg,
Austria. North American premiere by Nederlands Dans Theater 1: October 20, 1994 in New York City. First staged
in North America for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Shubert Theatre, Chicago, IL, March 28, 2000. Music
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: “Adagio from Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major,” as performed by Mitsuko Uchida
and the English Chamber Orchestra (KV 488) and “Andante from Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major,” as performed
by Mitsuko Uchida and the English Chamber Orchestra (KV 467), both courtesy of Universal Music Group. The
revival of Petite Mort was sponsored by Alfred L. McDougal and Nancy Lauter McDougal. The Sara Lee Foundation
was the original Exclusive Sponsor of Petite Mort, a significant addition to Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s
International Masters Initiative.

About Jiří Kylián
Choreographer Jiří Kylián was born in 1947
in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He enrolled in
the School of the National Ballet Prague at
age nine and, in 1962, was accepted into the
Prague Conservatory, where he trained with
Zora Semberova and other instructors, and
created his first two works of choreography.
In 1967, Kylián received a scholarship to study
at the Royal Ballet School in London, where
he met choreographer John Cranko, who
invited Kylián to join Germany’s Stuttgart
Ballet. Kylián remained with the company as a
dancer and choreographer through Cranko’s
sudden passing in 1973 and the subsequent
direction of choreographer Glen Tetley,

whose understanding of movement and its
relation to space were revelations for Kylián. After creating three works for Nederlands Dans
Theater as a guest choreographer, Kylián joined the company as co–artistic director, with Hans
Knill. The creation of Sinfonietta for NDT to perform at the Spoleto Festival–USA in 1978 heralded
Kylián’s arrival as a major international artist; his Symphony of Psalms premiered the same year.
In the early 1980s, Kylián’s travels to Australia to study aboriginal dances inspired new ideas in
his choreography and the works Stamping Ground and Dream Time. Kylián and NDT’s founding
managing director Carel Birnie created a second ensemble, NDT 2, for early-career artists, which
premiered major works including 27'52" (2002). Between 1980 and 2000, NDT 1 commissioned
Christopher Bruce, Mats Ek, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin and many more, in addition to
presenting masterworks by Hans van Manen, Glen Tetley and others. In 1990, Kylián launched
NDT 3, for accomplished dancers over the age of 40. He passed the artistic directorship of NDT’s
three ensembles to the next generation of leadership in 1999, while remaining choreographer
for the company through 2009. Kylián has created more than 100 original works to date; recent
projects include the film Between Entrance & Exit (2013). Kylián’s honors and recognitions include
the ranks of Commander of the Legion of Honor (France) and Officer of the Order of Oranje
Nassau (the Netherlands), a Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Venice
Biennale, three Nijinsky Awards for Choreography (Monaco), two Prix Benois de la Danse prizes
(Moscow, Berlin), two Sir Laurence Olivier Awards (London), a Knight’s Cross from President
Aleksander Kwaśniewski (Poland), a cultural award for Arts and Sciences from Queen Beatrix
of the Netherlands, a Golden Medal for Outstanding Merits from President Václav Havel of the
Czech Republic, honorary doctorates from the Juilliard School (United States) and the Music
Academy Prague (Czech Republic), La Medaille d’Or from the city of Lyon (France), an award
for Exceptional Achievements in Choreography and Dance (Czech Ministry of Culture), an Angel

Roslyn Anderson (Repetiteur) studied first with Phyllis Danaher, then at the Australian Ballet School,
from which she graduated to the Australian Ballet then under the artistic direction of Dame Peggy van
Praag. Following six years with that company, she joined Nederlands Dans Theater, then directed by Jaap
van Flier, after NDT’s 1972 Australian tour. Anderson has worked with major choreographers including
Christopher Bruce, John Butler, Nacho Duato, Louis Falco, Hans van Manen, Jennifer Muller, Jerome
Robbins, Glen Tetley and, of course, Jiří Kylián, originating numerous roles in their creations. After retiring
from the stage as a dancer in 1986, Anderson was rehearsal director for NDT 1 through 2008. She has
assisted Kylián and other artists since 1979, staging their choreography for dozens of internationally
recognized companies across Europe, the United States, New Zealand and her native Australia.
Urtzi Aranburu (Repetiteur) started his classical training at age nine with Maria Carmen Medel at her
ballet school, Thalia, in Spain. He continued his dance education with Luis Fuente in Madrid and, after
four years, began his career as a professional dancer. After two seasons with Nederlands Dans Theater 2,
Jiří Kylián promoted Aranburu to Nederlands Dans Theater 1, in which he continued to perform and tour
internationally for 14 years; from 2009–13, he returned to Nederlands Dans Theater 2 as a ballet master
and teacher. Aranburu has worked extensively with Kylián and other renowned choreographers including
Mats Ek, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin and Hans van Manen, performing their works worldwide, while
teaching technique and repertoire at the Royal Conservatory of Den Haag. Choreographers Aranburu has
assisted include Kylián, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger and Lukas Timulak; he’s staged their works and others for
numerous companies including Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo (Monaco), Ballett Stuttgart (Germany), La Scala
(Italy) and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.
Joost Biegelaar (Lighting Design Reconstruction) was educated in stage management studies at the
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. In 1992, he joined Nederlands Dans Theater
where he worked, produced and toured worldwide as part of the company’s stage management and
technical team, under the direction of choreographer Jiří Kylián. He then became technical director for
five years of the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague, the Netherlands. Biegelaar is currently a freelance
lighting designer working regularly with Kylián Productions BV to reproduce and restage Kylián’s works
with dance companies around the world.
Dick Schuttel (Sound Design Reconstruction)
has worked as an audio engineer for theater,
television and film; at his own studio, he mixed
and designed sound and music for Dutch film
director Alex van Warmerdam, among others.
Schuttel has designed sound and video for
major museum exhibitions in Amsterdam and
Rotterdam, winning a prize for Best Audio Design
for the exhibition “Istanbul: The City and the
Sultan” at Amsterdam’s De Nieuwe Kerk (The New
Church). Schuttel began working with Nederlands
Dans Theater in 2000 as head of its audiovisual
department, and has since created numerous
sound and projection designs for choreography
by Jiří Kylián, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, and
many others.

Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion joins Hubbard Street for the Spring Series, performing
Steve Reich’s Drumming live for our performances of Falling Angels.
Hailed by The New Yorker as “vibrant” and “superb,” Third Coast Percussion explores and
expands the extraordinary sonic possibilities of the percussion repertoire, delivering
exciting performances for audiences of all kinds. Since its formation in 2005, Third Coast
Percussion has gained national attention with concerts and recordings that meld the
energy of rock music with the precision and nuance of classical chamber works.
These “hard-grooving” musicians (New York Times) have become known for groundbreaking collaborations across a wide range of disciplines, including concerts and
residency projects with engineers at the University of Notre Dame, architects at the Frank
Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, astronomers at the Adler Planetarium, and more. The
ensemble enhances the performances it offers with cutting edge new media, including
free iPhone and iPad apps that allow audience members to create their own musical
performances and take a deeper look at the music performed by Third Coast Percussion.
In 2013, Third Coast Percussion became Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Notre
Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, and had the honor of creating the center’s first
permanent, progressive residency program. The ensemble also performs multiple recitals
annually at Notre Dame, as part of the DeBartolo’s Presenting Series season.
Third Coast’s passion for community outreach includes a wide range of residency offerings
while on tour, in addition to a long-term residency with the Davis Square Park Community
Band on Chicago’s South Side.

STAFF BIOGRAPHIES
Glenn Edgerton (Artistic Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago after an international career as
a dancer and director. At the Joffrey Ballet, he performed leading roles, contemporary and classical, for
11 years under the mentorship of Robert Joffrey. In 1989, Edgerton joined the acclaimed Nederlands Dans
Theater (NDT), where he danced for five years. He retired from performing to become its artistic director,
leading NDT 1 for a decade and presenting the works of Jiří Kylián, Hans van Manen, William Forsythe,
Ohad Naharin, Mats Ek, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, among others.
From 2006 to 2008, he directed the Colburn Dance Institute at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in

Kristen Brogdon (General Manager) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in July 2007, after nine years
at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., where she first worked with
Hubbard Street Executive Director Jason D. Palmquist. During her tenure at the Kennedy Center, Brogdon
was responsible for programming the facility’s unparalleled ballet and contemporary dance season.
She managed the Suzanne Farrell Ballet from its inception in September 2001 and was instrumental
in the creation and growth of the Metro D.C. Dance Awards. Brogdon also created and produced a
commissioning program for local choreographers, facilitating work by 20 artists from D.C., Maryland
and Virginia. Prior to the Kennedy Center, she was the company manager and publicist for Li ChiaoPing Dance, a modern dance company based in Madison, Wisconsin. Brogdon holds a Master of Arts in
Business with a concentration in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin and a Bachelor of
Arts in Economics from Duke University.
Alejandro Cerrudo (Dancer and Resident Choreographer) was born in Madrid, Spain and trained at the
Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza de Madrid. His professional career began in 1998 and includes
work with Victor Ullate Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater 2 and, since 2005, Hubbard
Street Dance Chicago. In 2008, Cerrudo was named Hubbard Street Choreographic Fellow and became
the company’s first Resident Choreographer in 2009. His 12 works to date choreographed at Hubbard
Street include unique collaborations with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Nederlands Dans Theater.
These pieces and additional commissions are in repertory at companies in Germany, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Australia and around the United States. Always dancing and constantly creating, Cerrudo
was honored in 2011 with an award from the Boomerang Fund for Artists. In 2012, he received a Prince
Prize for Commissioning Original Work from the Prince Charitable Trusts, for his first full-length work, One
Thousand Pieces. Cerrudo’s world premiere this month for Pacific Northwest Ballet is supported by the
Joyce Theater Foundation’s Rudolf Nureyev Prize for New Dance.
Claire Bataille (Director, Lou Conte Dance Studio) was a founding dancer with Hubbard Street from 1977
to 1992, performing works created by Lou Conte, Twyla Tharp, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Daniel Ezralow, John
McFall and Margo Sappington. She received the Ruth Page Award for Outstanding Dancer in 1992. From
1977 to 2001, Bataille also served the company as Assistant Artistic Director, Ballet Mistress and Rehearsal
Director. She choreographed five works between 1978 and 1985 and toured nationally and internationally
with Hubbard Street. Bataille began teaching at the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1975 and has been
teaching dance in Chicago ever since. In 2003, she earned her certification in the Pilates Method with
Romana’s Pilates in New York. In 2005, Bataille was appointed Associate Director of the Lou Conte Dance
Studio at the Hubbard Street Dance Center and became its Director in 2008.
Kathryn Humphreys (Director, Education, Youth and Community Programs) joined Hubbard Street in 2002.
As Education Director, she develops and implements dance education initiatives designed to improve teacher
and teaching artist practice and collaboration to effect whole-school change and to further understanding
of the role of dance in public education. With more than a decade of experience in arts education, her work
supports local and national groups as they work to understand and implement dance education in public
schools, utilizing the model developed by Humphreys at Hubbard Street. She holds an MA in Dance from Texas
Woman’s University and consults locally and nationally on issues relating to dance education and research.
Lou Conte (Founder), after a performing career that included roles in Broadway musicals such as Cabaret,
Mame and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, established the Lou Conte Dance Studio in
1974. Three years later, he founded what is now Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Originally the company’s
sole choreographer, he developed relationships with emerging and world-renowned dancemakers Lynne
Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow as the company grew. Conte continued to build
Hubbard Street’s repertoire by forging a key relationship with Twyla Tharp in the 1990s, acquiring seven of
her works as well as original choreography. It then became an international enterprise with the inclusion
of works by Jiří Kylián, Nacho Duato and Ohad Naharin. Throughout his 23 years as the company’s artistic
director, Conte received numerous awards including the first Ruth Page Artistic Achievements Award in
1986, the Sidney R. Yates Arts Advocacy Award in 1995, and a Chicagoan of the Year award from Chicago
magazine in 1999. In 2003, Conte was inducted as a laureate into the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, the
state’s highest honor. He has been credited by many for helping raise Chicago’s international cultural
profile and for creating a welcoming climate for dance in the city, where the art form now thrives.

About Hubbard Street
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s core purpose is to bring artists, art and audiences together
to enrich, engage and change lives through the experience of dance.
Now in its 36th year, it continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while
presenting repertory by major international artists.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago grew out of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at LaSalle and Hubbard
Streets in 1977, when Lou Conte gathered an ensemble of four dancers to perform in senior
centers across Chicago. Barbara G. Cohen soon joined the company as its first Executive
Director. Conte continued to direct the company for 23 years, during which he initiated and grew
relationships with both emerging and established artists including Nacho Duato, Daniel Ezralow,
Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Twyla Tharp.
Conte’s successor Jim Vincent widened Hubbard Street’s international focus, began Hubbard
Street’s collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and cultivated growth from
within, launching the Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop and inviting Resident Choreographer
Alejandro Cerrudo to make his first work. Gail Kalver’s 23 years of executive leadership
provided continuity from 1984 through the 2006–07 season, when Executive Director Jason
Palmquist joined the organization.

Twyla Tharp (1992).
Glenn Edgerton became Artistic Director in 2009 and, together with Palmquist, moved
this legacy forward on multiple fronts. Inside/Out now begins the creative process for
danc(e)volve: New Works Festival, two weeks devoted to new work presented at the Museum
of Contemporary Art. Partnerships with the CSO, Art Institute of Chicago and other institutions
keep Hubbard Street deeply connected to its hometown. To the company’s repertoire,
Edgerton has extended relationships with its signature choreographers while adding
significant new voices such as Mats Ek and Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King and Victor Quijada.
Edgerton named Alejandro Cerrudo the company’s first resident choreographer, and in
the 35th Anniversary Season, commissioned him to create the company’s first full-evening
production, One Thousand Pieces.
The main company’s 18 members comprise one of the only ensembles in America to perform
all year long, domestically and around the world, while a nationally renowned Summer Intensive
Program brings young artists into its ranks. Hubbard Street 2, an eight-member ensemble for
young professional artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by
Terence Marling, HS2 appears throughout the United States and overseas, often in service of
dance education through master classes and workshops.
Hubbard Street’s Youth, Education and Community Programs are benchmarks for arts outreach
in schools and in their impact on the lives of thousands of students. In 2009, Hubbard Street
launched youth and family programs to teach dance with an emphasis on creative expression.

ABOUT
A PARTNER TO CHICAGO’S PERFORMING ARTS COMMUNITY
Opened on November 8, 2003, the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park became the first multi-use performing arts venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Today, 10 years later, the nonprofit Harris Theater celebrates its first decade during the 2013-
2014 season and features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting local, national, and internationally renowned artists and ensembles.
A core component of the Harris Theater’s mission is to partner and collaborate with Chicago’s emerging and mid-sized performing arts organizations. In addition to providing subsidized rental, technical expertise, and marketing support to these companies, the Theater offers professional development opportunities to its resident companies, including the innovative Learning Lab, endorsed with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
In 10 seasons, the Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations. Through these partnerships, the Theater has earned national recognition as a unique model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement.
Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in the city. Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Renée Fleming, the Hamburg Ballet, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opéra Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, and many others have all graced the Harris’ Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage through this series. The Harris Theater is committed to advancing access to and appreciation of the performing arts for Chicago residents of all ages and communities through the Family Series, Eat to the Beat lunchtime series, and engage-
ment programs. Through the Access Tickets Program and Teen Arts Project, the Harris Theater has provided over 7,300 complimentary tickets to 36 schools, community arts organizations, and health and human services part-
ners working with under-served constituencies. The Theater also provides opportunities for children, teens, and families to connect with the world-class artists who appear on the Harris stage through master classes, artist discus-
sions, and other enrichment activities.
