Fall Series 2016
A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director Creating new work is at the core of what we do. I am thrilled to be kicking off Season 39 with two world premiere works and two masterworks that have inspired our dancers and audiences alike. Alejandro Cerrudo has been Resident Choreographer for Hubbard Street since 2009. His new work is set to solos for piano by Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Franz Schubert with movement that provides a stylistic counterpoint to the music. You will see much of what audiences have come to love about Alejandro’s work, and also an artist that continues to challenge himself, our dancers and the public. Having Brian Brooks, the inaugural Choreographer in Residence for the Harris Theater, working in our studios, has been terrific. Local audiences have had the chance to witness Brian’s work at the Chicago Dancing Festival and through the Wendy Whelan Dance Project, Restless Creature. I have been following Brian’s work for many years now so it was an obvious fit for us when the Harris Theater suggested commissioning a work from him. Over the next three years of his residency, we will all get to know the depth and range of this artist and I am happy that we will launch his residency with this premiere. I want to extend special thanks to Michael Tiknis, President of the Harris Theater, Jake Franke and David Herro for supporting Brian’s work. Having the work of these two choreographers on the same program as Jiří Kylián, represents the essence of our programming which is to give oopportunities to the current generation of art makers mixed with master choreographers. Kylián’s repertory has made a profound impact on my career and aesthetics and I am so pleased to continue to share his prolific body of work with our dancers and audiences. I want to also let you know about a new initiative in a pilot stage with this program that we are calling DreamTix. Following in the footsteps of the Chicago Dancing Festival, we will provide free tickets to Hubbard Street’s performances at the Harris Theater for Chicago Public School students and their parents and guardians. Our intent is to continue to build on the legacy of the Chicago Dancing Festival after the announcement came in mid-October of its conclusion. For the past ten years the Chicago Dancing Festival brought dance to Chicago, free of charge. Lar Lubovitch and Jay Franke built a broader audience for dance in Chicago, and for that we will be forever grateful. If you are new to Hubbard Street, or if you are returning after some time away, I would encourage you to join us for the rest of Season 39. You will not want to miss what’s coming next: Nacho Duato’s work in our Spring Series, four new works at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Edlis Neeson Theater in May, and a retrospective of some of our greatest hits, including Lou Conte’s The 40s and Twyla Tharp’s The Golden Section in our Summer Series this June. Yours truly,

Falling Angels Jiří Kylián, Choreography Steve Reich, Score Joop Caboort, Lighting Design, after a concept by Jiří Kylián Joost Biegelaar, Technical Adaptation Joke Visser, Costume Design Roslyn Anderson, Assistant to the Choreographer and Staging Choreographed between 1986 and 1991, Jiří Kylián’s six “black and white” works are among the most influential in Western contemporary dance. In spring 2014, Hubbard Street added two of these works — Falling Angels (1989) and Sarabande (1990) — to three more already in the company’s repertoire: Petite Mort, Sechs Tänze and No More Play. Eight women remain onstage throughout Falling Angels, a group continually fractured and recombined by the endlessly inventive patterning of Kylián’s choreography and lighting design, both keenly illustrative of Steve Reich’s phased-percussion score. Created for and premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater at the AT&T Danstheater, Den Haag, the Netherlands, November 23, 1989. First performed by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, Chicago, IL, March 13, 2014. Music by Steve Reich: “Drumming: Part I,” from the album Drumming. By arrangement with Hendon Music, Inc., a Boosey & Hawkes company, publisher and copyright owner. Falling Angels is sponsored by Sara Albrecht and Richard L. Rodes. Additional support is provided by Choreographer’s Circle Member Sarah J. Nolan.
Sarabande Jiří Kylián, Choreography, Set Design, Lighting Design Concept Glenn Edgerton, Urtzi Aranburu, Staging Johann Sebastian Bach, Music, electronically arranged by Dick Heuff Joop Caboort, Lighting Design Realization Joke Visser, Costume Design Sarabande (1990) is for six men and set to Bach’s second partita for solo violin, with electronically manipulated sound made live by the dancers’ bodies and voices. Its counterpart, for eight women, is the driving, hypnotic Falling Angels (1989), set to part one of Steve Reich’s phased percussion composition, Drumming. Created for and premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater at the AT&T Danstheater, September 13, 1990, Den Haag, the Netherlands. First performed by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Chicago, IL, March 13, 2014. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach: “Partita No. 2 in D Minor,” from the album Bach, J.S.: 3 Sonatas & 3 Partitas For Solo Violin, performed by Gidon Kremer. Electronically arranged by Dick Heuff, courtesy of Universal Music Group.

Terrain Brian Brooks, Choreography Todd Reynolds, Terry Riley, Music Nicole Pearce, Lighting Design Karen Young, Costume Design “I’m swept away by organic structures—those you’ll find in nature—and by the way organisms and life forms hold themselves together and interact with each other…Ultimately, when you watch the dance, I hope it’s like watching a flock of birds—something of one mind, of one focus, with a cohesiveness balancing order and chaos.” —Brian Brooks In Brian Brooks’ first commissioned work as the inaugural Choreographer in Residence for the Harris Theater, conflict and collaboration coexist for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s 17 dancers. A bold mix of sounds, including Todd Reynolds’ propulsive, electronic re-composition of Terry Riley’s classic minimalist score “In C”, heightens the inherent tension, while lighting by Nicole Pearce and Costume design by Karen Young add to the overall aesthetic. Music by Terry Riley: “In C (Todd Reynolds Remix),” performed by Todd Reynolds, from the album In C Remixed, as recorded by Bill Ryan, as published by Todd Reynolds Music. Music by Todd Reynolds: “Outerborough,” from the album Outerborough, as recorded and published by Todd Reynolds Music. Commissioned for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago by the Harris Theater for Music and Dance with support from the Jay Franke and David Herro Choreographer in Residence Fund through the Imagine campaign. Bill and Orli Staley are the 2016-2017 Leading Supporters of New Choreography Development.
INTERMISSION
Niebla Alejandro Cerrudo, Choreography Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Franz Schubert, Music Michael Korsh, Lighting Design Branimira Ivanova, Costume Design “I set out, as a challenge for myself, to not get lost in the beauty of these classical scores. I don’t want the choreography to be simply a visual representation of the music—I want the movement of the dancers to pierce through the music, to create a sort of stylistic counterpoint. The effect, I hope, is that you really hear and feel the music; that the dance brings its own complexities and nuances to the experience. I love changing the audience’s perception of a piece of music through my choreography and my work with the creative team.” —Alejandro Cerrudo Cerrudo’s 15th work for Hubbard Street’s ensemble is set to solo piano scores by Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Franz Schubert. Hubbard Street’s Resident Choreographer is reunited with lighting designer Michael Korsh (One Thousand Pieces, The Impossible) and costume designer Branimira Ivanova (Hubbard Street + The Second City’s The Art of Falling). Niebla, Spanish for “fog” explores revealing moments when the visual frame changes and objects are noticed only when they have been removed from sight. Created for and premiered by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Chicago, IL, November 17, 2016. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach: “Invention in C Minor, BWV 773,” performed by Michal Mašek, from the album Winter Classical Music, as recorded by Music Place Original. “Adagio from the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major BWV 564 (Concert Arrangement By Ferruccio Busoni),” performed by Vahan Mardirossian, from the album Piano Transcriptions, as recorded by Transart Live. Music by Franz Liszt: “Wohin? (From Die schone Mullerin, D795),” performed by Evgeny Kissin, from the album Kissin Plays Liszt, as recorded by Sony Music Entertainment, as published by IMG Artists. “Aufenthalt (From Schwanengesang, D957),” performed by Evgeny Kissing, from the album Kissin Plays Liszt, as recorded by Sony Music Entertainment, as published by IMG Artists. Music by Greg Haines: “Last Time I Tried,” from the album Moments Eluding, as recorded by Kning Disk, as published by Erased Tapes Music. Music by Franz Schubert: “Impromptu, Op. 90, D. 899: No. 3 in G-Flat Major,” performed by Franz Vorraber, from the album Schubert: Four Impromptus, Op. 90, D. 899, as recorded by K&K Verlagsanstalt. World Premiere by Alejandro Cerrudo is sponsored by Marc Miller and Chris Horsman and Richard and Barbara Silverman. Additional support is provided by Choreographer’s Circle Members John and Caroline Ballantine. Bill and Orli Staley are the 2016-2017 Leading Supporters of New Choreography Development.

Fall Series 2016
Alejandro Cerrudo (Resident Choreographer) was born in Madrid, Spain and trained at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza de Madrid. His professional career began in 1998 and includes work with Victor Ullate Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, and Nederlands Dans Theater 2. Cerrudo joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in 2005, was named Choreographic Fellow in 2008, and became the company’s first Resident Choreographer in 2009. Fifteen works choreographed to date for Hubbard Street include collaborations with The Second City, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Nederlands Dans Theater. These pieces and additional commissions are in repertory at companies around the U.S. as well as in Australia, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands; touring engagements have brought his work still further abroad, to audiences in Algeria, Canada, Morocco, and Spain. In March 2012, Pacific Northwest Ballet invited Cerrudo to choreograph his first work for the company, Memory Glow, upon receiving the Joyce Theater Foundation’s second Rudolf Nureyev Prize for New Dance. Additional honors include an award from the Boomerang Fund for Artists (2011), and a Prince Prize for Commissioning Original Work from the Prince Charitable Trusts (2012) for his acclaimed, first evening-length work, One Thousand Pieces. In March 2016, Switzerland’s Ballett Basel premiered his second evening-length work, Sleeping Beauty, at Theater Basel. Cerrudo was one of four choreographers invited by New York City Ballet principal Wendy Whelan to create and perform original duets for “Restless Creature,” and he is United States Artists’ 2014 USA Donnelley Fellow. Jiří Kylián was born in 1947 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He enrolled in the School of the National Ballet Prague at age nine and, in 1962, was accepted into the Prague Conservatory, where he trained with Zora Semberova and other instructors, and created his first two works of choreography. In 1967, Kylián received a scholarship to study at the Royal Ballet School in London, where he met choreographer John Cranko, who invited Kylián to join Germany’s Stuttgart Ballet. Kylián remained with the company as a dancer and choreographer through Cranko’s sudden passing in 1973 and the subsequent direction of choreographer Glen Tetley. After creating three works for Nederlands Dans Theater as a guest choreographer, Kylián joined the company as co–artistic director, with Hans Knill. The creation of Sinfonietta for NDT to perform at the Spoleto Festival–USA in 1978 heralded Kylián’s arrival as a major international artist; his Symphony of Psalms premiered the same year. In the early 1980s, Kylián’s travels to Australia to study aboriginal dances inspired new ideas in his choreography and the works Stamping Ground and Dream Time. Kylián and NDT’s founding managing director Carel Birnie created a second ensemble, NDT 2, for early-career artists, and between 1980 and 2000, NDT 1 commissioned Christopher Bruce, Mats Ek, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin and many more, in addition to presenting masterworks by Hans van Manen, Glen Tetley and others. In 1990, he launched NDT 3, for accomplished dancers over the age of 40. Kylián passed the artistic directorship of NDT’s three ensembles to the next generation of leadership in 1999 while remaining choreographer for the company through 2009. Kylián has created more than 100 original works to date; recent projects include the film Between Entrance & Exit (2013). Kylián’s honors and recognitions include the ranks of Commander of the Legion of Honor (France) and Officer of the Order of Oranje Nassau (the Netherlands), a Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Venice Biennale, three Nijinsky Awards for Choreography (Monaco), two Prix Benois de la Danse prizes (Moscow, Berlin), two Sir Laurence Olivier Awards (London), a Knight’s Cross from President Aleksander Kwaśniewski (Poland), a cultural award for Arts and Sciences from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, a Golden Medal for Outstanding Merits from President Václav Havel of the Czech Republic, honorary doctorates from the Juilliard School (United States) and the Music Academy Prague (Czech Republic), La Medaille d’Or from the city of Lyon (France), an award for Exceptional Achievements in Choreography and Dance (Czech Ministry of Culture), an Angel Award from the Edinburgh International Festival, the First Cultural Award of the City of the Hague (the Netherlands), a Dance Magazine Award, a Carina Ari Medal (Stockholm), the Dvořák Award (Prague), the West End Theatre Award (London), the Hans Christian Andersen Ballet Award (Copenhagen) and the Prix Italia for Video (Torino).

About Hubbard Street Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s core purpose is to bring artists, art and audiences together to enrich, engage, educate, transform and change lives through the experience of dance. Celebrating its 39th season in 2016–17, Hubbard Street continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while presenting repertory by major international artists. Hubbard Street Dance Chicago grew out of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at LaSalle and Hubbard Streets in 1977, when Lou Conte gathered an ensemble of four dancers to perform in senior centers across Chicago. Barbara G. Cohen soon joined the company as its first Executive Director. Conte continued to direct the company for 23 years, during which he initiated and grew relationships with both emerging and established artists including Nacho Duato, Daniel Ezralow, Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Twyla Tharp. Conte’s successor Jim Vincent widened Hubbard Street’s international focus, began Hubbard Street’s collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and cultivated growth from within, launching the Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop and inviting Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo to make his first work. Gail Kalver’s 23 years of executive leadership provided continuity from 1984 through the 2006–07 season, when Executive Director Jason Palmquist joined the organization. Glenn Edgerton became Artistic Director in 2009 and, together with Palmquist, moved this legacy forward on multiple fronts. Inside/Out is now part of a broader strategy for building new repertoire, the Choreographic Development Initiative, which aims to be a national model for artistic development while proactively diversifying contemporary dance. Partnerships with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Second City and other institutions keep Hubbard Street deeply connected to its hometown. To the company’s repertoire, Edgerton has extended relationships with its signature choreographers while adding significant new voices such as Kyle Abraham, Mats Ek, Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King, Crystal Pite, and Victor Quijada.

Fall Series 2016
The main company’s members comprise one of the only ensembles in the U.S. to perform all year long, domestically and around the world, while four nationally renowned Summer Intensive Programs bring young artists into its ranks. Hubbard Street 2, its second company for early-career artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by Terence Marling, HS2 cultivates young professional dancers, identifies next-generation choreographers, and performs domestically and abroad in service of arts education, collaboration, experimentation and audience development. Hubbard Street’s Youth, Education and Community Programs are national benchmarks for partnership, dance education and urban school research. In 2008, the Parkinson’s Project became the first dance class in the Midwest for those affected by Parkinson’s disease and, with The Autism Project pilot in 2014, it’s now part of Hubbard Street’s growing Adaptive Dance Programs. Youth Dance Programs for students ages 18 months to 18 years emphasize creative expression and are offered year-round at the Hubbard Street Dance Center. At the Lou Conte Dance Studio — where Hubbard Street began in 1974 — workshops and master classes allow access to expertise, while a broad variety of weekly classes offer training at all levels in jazz, ballet, modern, tap, African, hip-hop, yoga, Pilates® and dance fitness.

HUBBARD STREET STAFF PROFILES Glenn Edgerton (Artistic Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago after an international career as a dancer and director. At the Joffrey Ballet, he performed leading roles, contemporary and classical, for 11 years under the mentorship of Robert Joffrey. In 1989, Edgerton joined the acclaimed Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), where he danced for five years. He retired from performing to become its artistic director, leading NDT 1 for a decade and presenting the works of Jiří Kylián, Hans van Manen, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Mats Ek, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, among others. From 2006 to 2008, he directed the Colburn Dance Institute at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Edgerton joined Hubbard Street as associate artistic director in 2008; since 2009 as artistic director, he has built upon more than three decades of leadership in dance performance, education and appreciation established by founder Lou Conte and continued by Conte’s successor, Jim Vincent. Jason D. Palmquist (Executive Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in May 2007, after serving the arts community in Washington, D.C. for nearly 15 years. Palmquist began his career at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, completing his tenure there as vice president of dance administration. At the Kennedy Center, he oversaw multiple world-premiere engagements of commissioned works in dance, the formation and growth of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet and the inception in 1997 of the Millennium Stage, an award-winning, free daily performance series that to date has served more than 3 million patrons. Deeply enriching the Kennedy Center’s artistic programming, Palmquist successfully presented engagements of global dance companies including the Royal Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Kirov Ballet, Paul Taylor Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. Palmquist also managed the Kennedy Center’s television initiatives, including the creation of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and a prime-time special on NBC memorializing the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In 2004, he accepted the position of executive director at the Washington Ballet. Under his leadership, the company presented full performance seasons annually at the Kennedy Center and the Warner Theater, and nurtured its world-renowned school and extensive education and outreach programs. A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Palmquist currently serves on the boards of the Arts Alliance of Illinois and the Harris Theater for Music and Dance. Karena Fiorenza Ingersoll (General Manager) brings more than a decade of experience to Hubbard Street as a leader, fundraiser and producer in the performing arts. Most recently, she served as the associate managing director of Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, where she line-produced and managed all new play development efforts, shepherding 30% growth in capacity.

HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO Lucas Crandall (Rehearsal Director) began his dance career with the Milwaukee Ballet in 1979. In 1980, he joined the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, then directed by Oscar Aráiz. Under the direction of Jiří Kylián, he danced with Nederlands Dans Theater for two years before returning to Geneva, as soloist and later rehearsal assistant, under the direction of Gradimir Pankov. Crandall has performed and originated roles in works by notable choreographers including Aráiz, Kylián, Christopher Bruce, Nacho Duato, Mats Ek, Rui Horta, Amanda Miller and Ohad Naharin. In 2000, Crandall returned to the U.S. to join Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, as Associate Artistic Director and staff at the Lou Conte Dance Studio. His teaching and coaching career includes residencies at various U.S. universities; master classes and repertory workshops, both domestically and abroad; and guest positions at companies including Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Northwest Professional Dance Project, and the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève. Crandall’s choreographic work includes multiple premieres for Hubbard Street (Atelier, Gimme, Imprint, The Set) and new works for Northwest Dance Project and Thodos Dance Chicago. Crandall was rehearsal director for Nederlands Dans Theater’s main company for three years, under the directorships of Paul Lightfoot and former Hubbard Street Artistic Director Jim Vincent, and he returned to Hubbard Street as Rehearsal Director in April 2013. Suzanne Appel (Director of External Affairs) joined Hubbard Street in August 2015 following a decade of arts leadership roles with an emphasis on business development, revenue generation, and producing the work of formchallenging artists. Most recently she served as managing director of The Cutting Ball Theater in San Francisco, where she nearly doubled the organization’s operating budget and built a two-plus-month operating reserve in four years. Her previous roles include director of individual giving at Dance Theater Workshop in New York City, associate managing director at Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, management fellow at Berkeley Repertory Theater, and assistant director of the annual fund at Wesleyan University. While in San Francisco, she served on the board of the Tenderloin Community Benefit District. Appel maintains a freelance practice as a financial and strategic management consultant for arts organizations, holds an MBA from Yale School of Management, an MFA in Theater Management from Yale School of Drama, and a BA from Wesleyan University. Jason Brown (Director of Production) is a design director with years of experience collaborating with internationally renowned companies to plan, coordinate and implement their live stage performances. Prior to joining Hubbard Street, his work could be seen throughout Chicago, through his 11-year tenure with the Lyric Opera of Chicago in addition to various projects with Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Goodman Theatre, Lookingglass Theatre Company and Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Brown’s most recent design work has been created for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Grand Rapids Ballet and the Joffrey Academy of Dance, Official School of the Joffrey Ballet. He is professionally affiliated with United Scenic Artists, Local USA 829 and is a member of the adjunct faculty at the Theatre School at DePaul University. Lou Conte (Founding Artistic Director), after a performing career that included roles in Broadway musicals such as Cabaret, Mame and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, established the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1974. Three years later, he founded what is now Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Originally the company’s sole choreographer, he developed relationships with emerging and world-renowned dancemakers Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow as the company grew. Conte continued to build Hubbard Street’s repertoire by forging a key relationship with Twyla Tharp in the 1990s, acquiring seven of her works as well as original choreography. It then became an international enterprise with the inclusion of works by Jiří Kylián, Nacho Duato and Ohad Naharin. Throughout his 23 years as the company’s artistic director, Conte received numerous awards including the first Ruth Page Artistic Achievements Award in 1986, the Sidney R. Yates Arts Advocacy Award in 1995, and a Chicagoan of the Year award from Chicago magazine in 1999. In 2003, Conte was inducted as a laureate into the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, the state’s highest honor, and in 2014, was named one of five inaugural recipients of the City of Chicago’s Fifth Star Award. He has been credited by many for helping raise Chicago’s international cultural profile and for creating a welcoming climate for dance in the city, where the art form now thrives.

ABOUT
HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE
The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is a 1,500-seat state-of-the art performance venue located in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Opened in November 2003, the nonprofit Harris Theater was the first multi-use performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Harris Theater serves as a unique national model of collaboration between the philanthropic community and performing arts organizations in music and dance. More than a decade later, the Theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting local, national, and internationally renowned artists and ensembles. The Harris Theater’s primary mission is to partner with an array of Chicago’s music and dance performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. The Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations, including internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Music of the Baroque, Chicago Opera Theater, Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNow, and collaborations with Lyric Opera of Chicago, National Museum of Mexican Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Columbia College Chicago. Through these partnerships, the Theater has earned national recognition as a distinctive model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement. The Theater supports this mission by providing these partner organizations with subsidized rental, technical expertise, and marketing support, allowing the organizations to focus on what they do best—bringing the finest in music and dance performances to the public. The Theater offers professional development opportunities, including the innovative Learning Lab, endorsed with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Harris Theater is also dedicated to presenting internationally acclaimed music and dance organizations to enhance its reputation as well as to help build audiences for the Theater’s resident companies. Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in Chicago. Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Renée Fleming, the Hamburg Ballet, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opéra Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and many others have graced the Harris’ Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage through this series. The Harris maintains a strong emphasis on community engagement through enrichment activities and their Access Tickets Program, in which the Harris Theater partners with health and human services agencies and community organizations to provide underwritten performance tickets for individuals facing illness, disability, and challenging life circumstances. Since 2009, the Theater has provided over 8,800 tickets to children and families, representing 25 neighborhoods across the city of Chicago.
