A self-described “indie cello orchestra,” the Portland Cello Project (or, PCP, as their fans affectionately call them) has a deep-rooted philosophy of building a stronger music community through collaborations across all genres. Their performances are unique and eclectic—one might hear hip-hop mixed with Bach or a haun...ting cover of Britney Spears. PCP combines grace and gravitas to bring you the cello as you’ve never heard it before.

One of Canada's foremost contemporary dance companies brings the work of two rising female choreographers to San Diego in an evening of surprise, humor, and a touch of whimsy. Les Chambres de Jacques is the highly acclaimed infectious work by Aszure Barton, known for her complex dance-making that is at once raw, feisty..., and impetuous. Annabelle Lopez Ochoa has been making waves in Europe with her intelligent, theatrical creations and finally comes to the West Coast with a World Premiere that places the dancers in the realm of virtual reality where choices are infinite.

When renowned choreographer Nacho Duato was appointed Artistic Director of the Compañía Nacional de Danza in 1990, it signified a considerable change. From a traditionally classical foundation, Duato transformed the company into a ballet with a personality of its own, fusing contemporary style with classical roots and ...adding some of Spain’s essential characteristics—passion, romance, and spontaneity. Duato’s own work is charming, whimsical, and somehow epic and timeless.
