Schedule:
Ruth Page Professional Dance and Friends at Bennett Gordon Hall
Ruth Page Professional Dance Training Program brings the elegance, artistry, and creative daring of its boundary-breaking namesake for performances featuring world and Ravinia premieres and a special guest artist.
The program featuring the Ruth Page Professional Dance Training Program is highlighted by two commissioned contemporary works from Mexican choreographers: "Apophonia" by Adrián Marcelo Sáenz and "La Tierra de Canela y Maíz" (The Land of Cinnamon and Corn), by Francisco Aviña. Rounding out the evening will be special classical selections from the Ruth Page Professional Dance Training Program’s repertoire, the tap dance bravura of guest artist Jumaane Taylor, artistic director of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project, and Moonwater Dance Project, a Chicago contemporary repertory company founded in 2018 by Artistic Director Mackenzie King.

Pianist Jonathan Biss at Martin Theatre
Pianist Jonathan Biss, "who’s known for his deeply insightful approach to the pillars of the repertoire and a desire to forge connections between that canon and the present" (The Boston Globe), returns to Ravinia with works classic and new. He opens the program with two Franz Schubert's Impromptus, following with a new work by former MacArthur Fellow and United States Artists Fellow Tyshawn Sorey. Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-Flat Major bookends the performance at the Martin Theatre.
