On November 30th, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. at the Chandos Pattison Auditorium, the Surrey City Orchestra presents an evening of culturally diverse music and dance, featuring local dance companies and singers. The concert will include the familiar music of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece.
Led by music director, Stuart Martin, the Surrey City Orchestra will be joined by Snowflake, Mother Goose and Sugar Plum Fairy dancers from The Central Dance Academy, Chinese dancers from the Hanyang Arts Society, Arab dancers from the Ammara Dance Company, and the Trepak, performed by the Kvitka Ukrainian School of Dance. The choreography will be directed by Tyra Sargeant, Larissa Trafananko, Jessica Tan, and Lisa Jordan. Also featured, are the award winning Surrey Children’s Choir directed by Stephen Horning.
“This performance will be a special treat for our musicians, as they never tire of playing this music,” music director Martin said, “this fast paced, dynamic concert will be sure to entertain concert goers and is a great introduction to the orchestra for first time audience members. Dance, in every culture, has an incredible ability to connect everyone through its ability to tell stories. We are hoping that this will become an annual event for Surrey to celebrate the season.”
Tchaikovsky’s music has long been a holiday tradition, with its timeless, engaging music, and childhood imagination. Colourful costumes, with a cultural twist, will bring the joy of the season alive, celebrating the talented young dancers and singers, accompanied by Surrey’s own professional orchestra. Indulge your childhood fantasies with candy dreams and colourful characters!
The concert will be approximately 1.5 hours. Tickets are $25-35 and available at the door or at SCO-nutcracker-2019.brownpapertickets.com
