Avant Chamber Ballet presents the one-act Nutcracker: Short and Suite plus the world premiere of Katie Cooper’s Winter from Vivaldi’s The Seasons in Southlake, TX with live music. This season’s production is a family-friendly one-hour performance with the professional cast of dancers from ACB, Cezanne String Quartet plus new costumes
and choreography. “This performance is a perfect introduction to live classical music and dance,” says ACB artistic director Katie Cooper. “Vivaldi’s Seasons is one of the most recognized pieces of music, but to see it with choreography and dance takes it to another level for the viewer. Nutcracker: Short and Suite is the second half of the evening with the best parts of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker and all the characters that you love.”
