Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a celebrated contemporary ballet company guided by its uniquely global artistic vision.  With noted composers, musicians, and visual artists, Alonzo King creates works that draw on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions, imbuing classical ballet with new expressive potential.  King’s visionary choreography is renowned for its ability to connect audiences to a profound sense of shared humanity—of vulnerability and tenderness, but also of furious abandon and exhilarating freedom.  The extraordinary quality of the company’s dancers continues to receive glowing reviews in the US and abroad.  The program for the company’s first Oklahoma appearance will feature Scheherazade with a new score by tabla master Zakir Hussain who re-interprets the original music by Rimsky-Korsakov, incorporating traditional Persian as well as Western instruments.  Also on the program will be Dust and Light, set to the rich variations of Arcangelo Corelli’s Baroque music and Francis Poulenc’s otherworldly sacred choral odes.   Williams Theatre, Tulsa Performing Arts Center.  Tickets are $40 for adults, $36 at the door, and $15 for student rush.  There are plenty of tickets available at the door.
