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. Paired with Johann Strauss Jr’s Emperor Waltz, this visually stunning concert blends tradition and innovation, creating an unforgettable artistic experience.
