Exquisite! Discover the company that has stolen the hearts of San Franciscans for over 25 years. Choreographer Alonzo King is celebrated around the world for his spirited ballets full of emotion and vitality. And his dancers are equally praiseworthy: their musicality and finesse will take your breath away. The first program is danced to live music played by a five-member baroque chamber orchestra. The second — virtuosic and dynamic — is set to an original tabla composition by India’s foremost master of the tabla.
