Two classic ballet scores join an exciting new dance collaboration. Aaron Copland’s popular Appalachian Spring  Suite ends with variations on “Simple Gifts,” while Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet captures the thrills and tragedy of a star-crossed love. American composer Adam Schoenberg writes music that sounds like a cross between Radiohead and Copland. The SLSO commissioned Adam Schoenberg for a new score to be danced by St. Louis’ own The Big Muddy Dance Company.
