We Like To Move It, Move It!
Just like peanut butter and jelly, french fries and ketchup, disco and sequins, Song and Dance come together in a harmonious fusion that will leave you exhilarated and moved. Featuring the dynamic choreography of Cherry Creek Dance, our exuberant season finale brings the stage to life with a symphony of movement. Maestro Lawrence Golan and remarkable guest conductor Jesús Parra, winner of the 2023 DPO International Conducting Competition, lead the evening’s foot-tapping festivities, featuring Rossini’s lively Overture to Il barbiere di Siviglia, Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 “Unfinished,” Strauss Jr.’s enchanting Kaiser-Walzer, and Copland’s spirited Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo. Let’s go! It’s time to boogie oogie oogie!
