Kelowna Ballet bringing A Grand Passion to Fort St. John

A Grand Passion takes the audience through a journey of ballet history, from classical to contemporary. It includes everything from the great ballet traditions of the 19th Century, through the sultry tango bars of Argentina, to the impassioned and tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet. The program will be finished with the 2011 commissioned contemporary ballet north shore, by Montreal choreographer Shawn Hounsell, "an avant-garde work of intense physicality and passion juxtaposed against the deep and complex music of British composer Gavin Bryars."

A master class by Artistic Director David LaHay has also been scheduled for intermediate and advanced dancers at the Studio 2 Stage Dance Academy on Monday, February 27.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on February 28, with tickets available at the North Peace Cultural Centre Box Office at 250-785-1922 or www.npcc.bc.ca.
