Winter Moons & Appalachian Spring is a celebration of storytelling through music and dance, in a partnership between the Yakima Symphony Orchestra and the Yakima School of Ballet. The performance features Winter Moons, a new ballet by acclaimed Chickasaw composer Jared Impichchaachaaha' Tate, which brings a rich Native American tale to life. Americana ballet classic, Copland’s Appalachian Spring, tells the tale of a young pioneer family beginning a life together, accompanied by folk melodies, evoking the simplicity and spirit of early American life.
