The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra (GLCO) presents Rite of Spring | Havana Nights

Thurs. July 17 at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts.

Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring shocked the world at its 1913 Paris premiere, sparking a riot with its groundbreaking music and radical dance. Now, GLCO and DEOS Contemporary Ballet bring this legendary work to life with a newly commissioned world-premiere choreography, created exclusively for northern Michigan audiences.

The evening continues with high-energy summer Latin rhythms including Bernstein’s Mambo from West Side Story.

Tickets from $35 – $65 are available at www.glcorchestra.org.  The 7 PM concert is free for veterans, active service members and students 18 and under by calling 231-487-0010.

Tickets include an optional pre-concert talk at 6 pm by Maestro Libor Ondras, GLCO Music Director.
