Ballet production 'See the Music (Hear the Dance)' by Ballet des Moines including selected movements of my Piano Sonatas 1-6
I’m thrilled to share that the Ballet Des Moines recently performed three critically acclaimed shows of See the Music (Hear the Dance), featuring the incredible choreography of Tom Mattingly. What makes this collaboration even more special is that part of the production included nine selected movements from my Piano Sonatas 1-6.
I feel very honored that Ballet Des Moines chose to incorporate my music into these stunning performances, which were held at Grinnell College, Hoyt Sherman Place, and Stephens Auditorium in Iowa/U.S. I’m grateful to have been a part of this amazing production.
If you missed the shows, don’t worry! You can still watch some astonishing excerpts from the performances on my Instagram profile. Just head over to @goetzoestlind to enjoy the highlights!
Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy watching these beautiful moments!
