San Diego Ballet: Bird/LAND
1439 El Prado, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $40 - $60
San Diego Ballet presents “Bird/LAND.” The program will feature performances from San Diego Ballet’s dancers paired with the soulful sounds of resident composers Gilbert Castellanos and Charles McPherson. Get swept away as Southern California’s hottest Jazz musicians accompany San Diego’s most acclaimed dance company live in this unique venue. This year’s offering will feature the world premieres of new works by both composers. Castellanos’ “Mi Tierra” (My Land) is a deeply personal rumination on the artists and places that formed him as a musician, while McPherson’s ebullient “Bird” pays tribute to arguably the most influential jazz innovator of our time, alto saxophonist Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.
