Dear PNB School Students and Families,
Pacific Northwest Ballet School’s 45th Annual School Performance at McCaw Hall is right around the corner. The event is a special one for students, family and friends. If your calendar isn’t already marked, circle June 13th. As we begin to prepare for these performances, there are a few things we would like to share with you.
The School Performance is divided into a matinee and evening show. This year’s matinee features students from the Phelps Center in Seattle, and the evening show features students from the Francia Russell Center in Bellevue. Both shows include performances by Level VII, VIII, and Professional Division students. See details below:
Performance agreements will be sent out in early March, stay tuned for more information.
PNB faculty member Eva Stone is creating a new work for our Professional Division that will be performed at both shows along with George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco and Vienna Waltzes, accompanied by the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Juan Felipe Molano.
All students in Levels I and up will begin rehearsals shortly. Each level will devote a portion of class time to preparation. For this reason, consistent attendance at all classes is essential. We want every student to feel well-prepared and confident as they take the stage at McCaw Hall for their class dance on June 13th. If you are already aware of schedule conflicts that will prevent your dancer from participating in the performance, please email the school immediately.
We sincerely appreciate your efforts to ensure students attend all classes and rehearsals during the coming months. If a student is unable to commit to their schedule, we may not be able to include them in this milestone performance.
Consider joining us for our annual Student Celebration Dinner at McCaw Hall after the matinee School Performance, where graduating students are honored in celebratory fashion; it is a fantastic way to commemorate the day. Tickets will go on sale in the spring, look for more details to come.
Please be sure to continue to check the Parent Portal regularly for updates regarding School Performance rehearsals, tickets, and the Celebration Dinner. Reach out to pnbschool@pnb.org with any questions.
We are looking forward to a great spring and a wonderful culmination of our school year.
Sincerely,
Peter Boal
Director
