Night of
New Works
Throughout the history of the Oregon Ballet Theatre,
the programs in the Newmark Theater have been
among the most fertile in the creation of new ballets. In
that spirit, American Music Festival brings three new
works, two world premieres and one West Coast pre
miere, in an ambitious program that spans a wide
spectrum of musical genres.
Pontus Lidberg’s new work immerses us in a world of
hypnotic liquidity, while Trey McIntyre explores the
territory of the American pioneer spirit, with its charac
teristic grit, determination and hope. Matthew Neenan
infuses virtuosic technique with humanism.
American Music Festival premieres Thursday, April
18, at 7:30 p.m. and runs for eight performances through
Saturday, April 27. Tickets start at $23. For complete
show times, visit obt.org.
