    An irresistible sampling of dance music from three 20th century masters. Prokofiev's dramatic Romeo & Juliet, one of the most expressive of all ballet scores, sweeps us from the pageantry and menace of two warring families to the passion and heartbreak of young lovers. We begin with dances from Ginastera's high-spirited ballet about gauchos' life on the Argentine pampas. Duke Ellington's jazz-infused suite follows, drawn from his ballet for the great dancer/choreographer Alvin Ailey. Leslie Dunner (pictured), Music Director of Joffrey Ballet, makes his third appearance with the Symphony.
