Choreography of James Sewell follows night of int’l strings in Big Sky
In conjunction with the Arts Council, Big Sky’s Warren Miller Performing Arts Center will present the awe-inspiring strings of International Guitar Night on Sunday, February 16th at 7:30pm. Run time is 140 minutes with intermission. Tickets range $18–$38. Each year, a new cast of guitar luminaries from around the world unite for special concert tours of North America highlighting the diversity of the acoustic guitar. The 20th anniversary outing features two-hand contemporary English guitarist Mike Dawes joined by fretless Turkish guitarist Cenk Erdogan, electrifying jazz virtuoso Olli Soikkeli from Finland, and Hawaiian Slack Key master Jim “Kimo” West.
A night of dance follows with an appearance by James Sewell Ballet on Saturday, February 22nd. The performance begins at 7:30pm. Run time is 100 minutes with intermission. Tickets range $25–$54. James Sewell re-imagines what a contemporary ballet company can look like: a chamber dance troupe that blends the elegance of classical ballet, the freedom of modern dance, and the can-do spirit of vaudeville. Technically flawless and unexpectedly creative, James Sewell Ballet remains Big Sky’s favorite dance company for a reason.
