WELCOME Dear Friends, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you attending this performance. Thank you for coming! I am honored to serve as Executive Director of Ogden Symphony Ballet Association and wish to express my gratitude for your support as I have become acclimated to this new role. As a life-long musician, administrator, and advocate for the arts I am inspired and motivated by the dedication and commitment I have seen from so many donors, patrons, and volunteers. I am extremely enthusiastic about what we can accomplish together.

Looking ahead, I am excited about the increase in energy surrounding the blossoming arts scene in Ogden, and the strong consortium of cultural leaders we have around us. I believe that OSBA’s value lies in the ability to connect our community through music and dance; and to bring the countless positive benefits of the performing arts to as many in our community as possible. If you haven’t already, I invite you to join our efforts by sharing your passion with others; bring a friend, persuade a coworker to attend, introduce us to someone new in town. I cannot overestimate the impact of these activities. There are many other ways to make a difference, and I encourage you to contact a staff member if you would like to share your time, talents, or resources.

I am eager to get to know each of you, and learn about the facets of OSBA that you enjoy, and where we have room for improvement. I am always open to your feedback—positive or negative.

We can only succeed by working together to protect and grow our cherished organization.

ABOUT OSBA

Under the direction of numerous dedicated Board Members and long-serving Executive Directors like Jean Pell (27 years) and Sharon Macfarlane (14 years), OSBA has expanded its programming but remains committed to its mission to enrich the lives of people in northern Utah by sponsoring world-class classical music and dance programming in the Greater Ogden Area.

Since its inception, OSBA has presented over 800 performances.

In 1949, Beverly Lund and Ginny Mathei decided they wanted to add even more culture to Weber County, so, with the help of a few friends and their husbands’ checkbooks, they brought the Utah Symphony to Ogden for a single performance. The total cost was $400, and three hundred people attended the concert.

This 1949 concert was a big success, so the women decided to present even more concerts in Ogden. They organized a committee within the Welfare League (later the Junior League) to raise funds for the Symphony Concerts.

Then, in 1957, this committee reformed and incorporated as the Ogden Guild. After a few more name changes and the addition of Ballet West performances in 1982, the organization became the Ogden Symphony Ballet Association.

801.399.9214

In addition, OSBA actively works to engage and educate younger patrons. For example, our Youth Guild has provided generations of high school students with opportunities to serve. We also offer a variety of education classes, from Masterworks Music Detectives to Music and Dance Explorers. And we are partnering with several local community organizations to expand these programs to reach even more children and students. This May, we will present our 3rd Annual Youth Benefit Concert, featuring Young Concert Artist, violinist Bella Hristova. The proceeds from this concert will go to fund music education scholarships for local children. If you would like to know more about any of these programs, please do not hesitate to call our office!

ABOUT THE PERFOMANCE Vivir Choreography: Darrell Grand Moultrie Music: Amuleto (Remastered) by Rodrigo y Gabriela; No Pienses Asi by Tito Puente; Satori (Remastered) by Rodrigo y Gabriela; Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar by Bebo & Cigala; Lambada Timbales by Tito Puente Lighting Designer: Mark Stanley Costume Designer: Mark Eric Dancers: Francesca Forcella, Stanley Glover, Zachary Kapeluck, Blake Krapels, Skyler Lubin, Roderick Phifer, Caili Quan, Richard Villaverde, Andrea Yorita World Premiere: March 7, 2018, BalletX at The Wilma Theater Choreographer Notes: Spanish Harlem is the Muse for Vivir. My birthplace is where I was exposed to all kinds of music and sounds. The beauty and power of Latin music was everywhere. This work was created to celebrate the culture, the people, and the sound that helped me thrive. Music saves and heals us.

Increasing Choreographer: Matthew Neenan Music: String Quintet in C major, Op. 163, D. 956, Movement I. Allegro ma non troppo by Franz Schubert Lighting Designer: Drew Billiau Costume Designer: courtesy of Pennsylvania Ballet Dancers: Francesca Forcella, Stanley Glover, Zachary Kapeluck, Blake Krapels, Skyler Lubin, Anna Peabody, Roderick Phifer, Caili Quan, Richard Villaverde, Andrea Yorita World Premiere: August 4, 2014, BalletX at Vail Dance Festival Choreographer Notes: After choreographing works that were more strictly defined by narrative strategies or conceptual through-lines, I wanted to make a piece that was more purely musical. My only desire with “Increasing” was to make a dance that sprang entirely from the music and to make movement that would closely parallel the playful richness and intensity of Schubert’s musical structure.

Since the company’s founding, BalletX has expanded its repertoire to include 65 world premieres by over 30 internationally renowned artists, including Matthew Neenan, Jodie Gates, Trey McIntyre, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and Darrell Grand Moultrie.
