“Simply breathtaking,” proclaims the Chicago Sun-Times about Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, whose UMS debut features a program of contemporary ballet that exemplifies the company’s commitment to commissioning dance by both world-renowned and emerging choreographers. With a European aesthetic grounded in American sensibilities, this 11-member troupe of classically trained dancers has developed a worldwide following. “Stark, sleek, and chock-full of moves that skirt the edges of contemporary movement.” (The Boston Globe)
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet began in Aspen in 1996, and a partnership four years later led to the creation of a company that splits its time between Aspen and Santa Fe. Artistic director Tom Mossbrucker, a former principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, has been with the company since the beginning. He is dedicated to presenting an eclectic repertoire and committed to acquiring new works that persistently challenge, enliven, and education both audiences and the company dancers.
