CCM Preparatory Youth Ballet Company Performs Its Annual Fall Concert

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music’s (CCM) Preparatory Department presents their annual Fall Youth Ballet Concert with a mix of traditional and contemporary ballet on

Friday, Dec. 12

and

Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

in the Patricia Corbett Theater. Jonnie Lynn Jacobs-Percer directs.

This year’s program highlights the junior company’s production of

Les Sylphides

originally choreographed by Michel Fokine with music by Frédéric Chopin. This lighthearted “romantic reverie” unfolds while selphs, greek mythological spirits of the air, dance in the moonlight. The junior and mini companies will perform an adaptation of

Hansel and Gretel

with music by Engelbert Humperdinck as well as

Les Patineurs

with original choreography by Sir Frederick Ashton and music by Giacomo Meyerbeer. This lovely one-act piece depicts a skating party on a frozen lake during a quiet winter’s eve.

The CCM Preparatory Ballet Company consists of three companies: the Mini, the Junior and the Senior Company. There are 50 dancers in the program ranging from age eight through adult.
