WE MENDED A FAILING

HEART ALIVE

AND KEPT THEIR ROMANCE

When you have that newlywed glow, everything seems rosy. So when Jean Richter started feeling short of breath, she wasn’t initially concerned. But then her symptoms worsened and her beloved husband, Dave, had to rush her to the Foothills Hospital Emergency Department. Jean was diagnosed with heart failure, a chronic condition that has a 50% survival rate within five years of diagnosis if not treated correctly. Luckily for Jean, Boulder Community Health now offers the only specialized Heart Failure Clinic in Boulder County. Dr. Scott Blois’s expertise with the latest treatment options set Jean on a remarkable journey back to a full active life. “I have a wonderful husband, five incredible daughters and 13 grandkids I adore,” says Jean. “I’m so happy we can hike, travel and have fun together again.” Read Jean’s story at bch.org/healinghearts or call 303-442-2395 for information about Boulder County’s first Heart Failure Clinic.

As one of Colorado’s premier ensembles, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is creating a new model for American orchestras through dynamic performances that reflect our community’s own values, creativity, and sense of place. Voted “Best of Boulder” for the past five years in a row, today’s Boulder Phil is bucking national trends with growing, enthusiastic audiences under the vision and leadership of Boulder Phil at the Kennedy Center, Music Director Michael Butterman. Last March 25, 2017 season, we were proud to be one of four orchestras nationally to be featured in the prestigious SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The Boulder Phil’s main concert series—broadcast state-wide on Colorado Public Radio—is presented at Macky Auditorium, a historic jewel on the University of Colorado campus. From multi-genre productions featuring dance, choral and visual elements to concerts with a unique hometown flavor, the Phil’s imaginative programming has resulted in increasing numbers of sold-out concerts and nationwide notice in Symphony Magazine and other publications. In recent seasons the Phil has collaborated with an impressive 50+ local organizations, encompassing arts, science, nature, youth, social services and more. By going beyond simply performing great music, we strive to connect the wider community more deeply with the live orchestral experience of today. Recognized as “Boulder’s premier orchestra” (Boulder Weekly) and “Boulder’s superb local professional orchestra” (Daily Camera), the Boulder Phil is comprised of the top freelance musicians from Colorado’s Front Range and beyond. Founded in 1957, the Boulder Phil’s recent history was shaped by notable music directors Ozzi Lehnert (1972-1996) and Theodore Kuchar (1996-2006), under whose leadership the Boulder Phil became a fully professional ensemble. Now celebrating our 60th Anniversary Season, the Boulder Phil of today reaches over 40,000 audience members each year, offering performances across the Front Range from Federal Heights to Highlands Ranch as well as regular invitations to perform at the Discovery Concert 2017 prestigious Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek. The Boulder Phil strives to inspire the next generation of music-lovers through Discovery Concerts that reach thousands of 4th and 5th grade students in over 40 schools across four counties. This year’s Reach for the Stars program offers an exciting space exploration theme in honor of NASA’s – and the Boulder Phil’s – 60th anniversary. For decades the Phil has also fostered new talent with the annual Young Artist Concerto Competition, side-by-side concerts with the Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and other school and youth orchestras, as well as performance opportunities for school groups and youth choirs. In all of these ways, the Boulder strives to be at the center of our community’s vibrant cultural life.

ABOUT THE BOULDER PHIL

The origins of Boulder Ballet begin with the Ballet Arts Studio, founded by former American Ballet Theatre dancer Larry Boyette and British dancer Barbara Demaree, and located above Tom’s Tavern (now the restaurant Salt) at 11th and Pearl Street in downtown Boulder. The first performing company to grow out of the school, Boulder City Ballet, was founded in 1982 by Barbara Demaree and Wanda Tierney. In 1985 the company changed its name to Boulder Ballet Ensemble, and in 1995 to Boulder Ballet. Over this time, Boulder Ballet has had a number of strong influences including the versatile artistry of past artistic directors Milenko Banovich (Zagred Ballet), Robin Haig (Royal Ballet), and John Prinz (American Ballet Theatre). Since 1989, Boulder Ballet has enjoyed a partnership with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra in presenting classical ballets complete with professional scenery, costumes, lighting designs, and casts of up to 100 dancers. Our rich history includes bringing classic, contemporary, and uniquely theatrical ballet to an audience that stretches from Estes Park to Highlands Ranch, in venues from the 2,000-seat opera house Macky Auditorium, to historic Boulder Theater in downtown Boulder, and to outdoor amphitheaters throughout the Denver-metro area. Artistic Director Ana Claire and Associate Artistic Director Lance Hardin continue to build on the proud tradition of artistic excellence through innovation. They have challenged their dancers and enlightened their audiences with the versatile productions from the contemporary Stepping Out to the classic The Nutcracker, to the timeless tale of Cinderella. Under their direction the company’s season continues to expand and performances now reach over 20,000 annually in the Denver Metro area. The Boulder Ballet School (BBS) provides ballet training for all ages, pre-school through adult, in a uniquely artistic and creative atmosphere. As a professional-track ballet school, BBS challenges students dedicated to pursuing dance as a career but also welcomes those who dance purely for enjoyment. BBS focuses on ballet technique because it is a beautiful art in its own right and a strong base for many other styles of dance. Under the direction of Ana Claire since 1999, she has successfully recruited an outstanding faculty with international performing and teaching experience. The sevenlevel curriculum is designed to produce well-rounded artists who achieve not only technical proficiency but also an essential expressive quality in their dancing. To achieve this, the classical ballet technique is augmented with modern dance, character dance, and physical theater. Such comprehensive training prepares students for the many artistic challenges demanded of today’s professional dancers. Our students have excelled in a number of competitions, including the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) where BBS students have won first-place awards and the regional Grand Prix (single highest award), and have been invited to perform in New York City among the world’s finest young dancers. Former BBS students have gone on to dance with companies throughout the world including American Ballet Theatre, Ballet British Columbia, Hubbard Street Dance, Mark Morris Dance Group, Miami City Ballet, Norwegian National Ballet, England’s Royal Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet, to name a few.

ABOUT BOULDER BALLET

BOULDER BALLET’S COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY Boulder Ballet has grown and flourished for more than thirty years on the Front Range; our roots are deep in Colorado. So, too, is our commitment to community through education and outreach programs. Our primary goal is to reach those students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience dance and movement. Since its inception more than a decade ago, Steps in Time remains a much-requested educational outreach program. Originally choreographed by Ana Claire, the assembly-format program seamlessly illustrates the history of ballet and its continuing influence on all forms of dance. Through beautiful choreography, humorous narration, and powerful dancing by our professional company, Steps in Time moves students beyond stereotypes and opens their eyes to the precision, Boulder Ballet at Chocolove expression, and athleticism of ballet. Each year this lively, interactive education program is presented to over 4,000 students in five different Front Range counties. In particular, Boulder Ballet reaches out to a large number of Title 1 schools—often with few arts resources—and students in free/reduced lunch programs. For many of these children, it is their first exposure to ballet, and they love it. Boulder Ballet’s artist-in-residence program for elementary schools, Poetry of Motion, features a Boulder Ballet instructor in residence at the school for up to two weeks. This program is designed to make a long-lasting impact on the minds and hearts of the students through the integration of dance and movement into the school’s curriculum. Poetry of Motion is focused on teaching students the value of creative expression without judgment. Through the integration of dance and movement, the program inspires confidence in creative expression, joy in collaborating with others, and passion for interpretive dramatic art, all based around state standards for Physical Education. Using fun exercises and games, students explore the realm of bodies in motion and imaginative expression. The model is group-oriented and playful. The cumulative effect of immersion over a two-week period builds students’ skills and confidence. Piloted in 2015, Boulder Ballet brings a four-day in-school residency to the middle school level. The middle school program builds on past participation in the elementary program and introduces a cross-disciplinary element that directly links earth science, physical education, and arts curricula. The mission of the middle school program focuses on the 3 C’s: building community, developing students’ skills directly related to their school curriculum, and fostering creativity through dance, health, and fitness. Boulder Ballet is equally committed to the successful community outreach programs Nutcracker Preview Night and Ballet in the Park. Since 2005, we have reached over 16,000 underserved individuals who are frequently excluded from exposure to the performing arts. These two programs were specifically designed to remove the financial barrier to participation. For our Nutcracker Preview Night performance, Boulder Ballet works with key social-service organizations to distribute free tickets to the full-scale final dress rehearsal of The Nutcracker in collaboration with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra. Our free, outdoor summer concert series, Ballet in the Park, also reaches out to low-income families, teens in crisis, struggling single parents, and seniors on fixed incomes as well as the community at large in an effort to make the arts accessible to all.

Program 3

OUR NUTCRACKER STORY ACT ONE It’s Christmas Eve and a young girl, Clara, is put to bed by her parents. Quickly asleep, she dreams she is at a festive Christmas Eve party surrounded by family and friends. Clara’s uncle, the mysterious Drosselmeyer, arrives and entertains the children with magic tricks, juggling, and life-size dancing dolls. He gives Clara a nutcracker doll that she adores, but her brother Fritz is envious and steals it, tripping and breaking it. Drosselmeyer quickly mends it with his magic handkerchief. Midnight strikes and strange things begin to happen. Human-sized mice dart through the shadows, the Christmas tree grows to astounding heights, and huge rats appear led by the fearsome Rat King. Then toy soldiers and the Nutcracker (now life-size) march in to protect Clara and engage the rats in a fierce battle. When the Rat King knocks the Nutcracker to the floor, Clara takes her shoe and strikes a fatal blow to the Rat King’s head. The battle over, Clara finds herself in a snow-covered forest and discovers that she has become a young woman. Then she sees that the Nutcracker, recovering from the battle, is now a handsome prince. They embark together on a journey through a snow-covered forest with dancing snowflakes and frost.

ACT TWO Continuing to dream, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince are led by Drosselmeyer through the realm of angels, who escort them to the Land of Sweets. They are welcomed by dignitaries and are presented to the Sugar Plum Fairy. She asks how her visitors won admission to her land, and the Prince reenacts the battle with the Rat King including Clara’s heroic rescue. The people of the Land of Sweets rejoice over the victory and award Clara a crown and the key to their kingdom. The Sugar Plum Fairy delights Clara and her Prince with a tour of the Land of Sweets. Dancers from Spain, Arabia, China, Italy, and Russia entertain the visitors. The Marzipans dance to the music of reed flutes. Then a larger-than-life Mother Ginger, her baker’s dozen of gingerbread cookies, and the Sugar Plum Fairy herself perform for the guests. Finally, the Dew Drop Fairy and her flower garden dance in the Waltz of the Flowers. Clara awakens from her dream, once more a little girl, finding the Nutcracker doll in her bed. With Drosselmeyer still in her mind, she wonders whether is was all a dream…or is this a dream yet to come?
