If you think you would enjoy two very creative World Premieres by two up and coming choreographers performed by a very imaginative concert dance company, Friday, June 2 would be a good day to be in Houston. That evening at 8:30 PM at the Miller Outdoor Theatre, Houston's METdance will be on stage in a concert called Sizzling Summer Dance.
The first time that you hear about Chicago Children's Choir, you probably don't realize how immense an artistic achievement that name represents. Once a year, though, you can see a lot of what they achieve. This Friday at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago's Millennium Park, The Chicago Children's Choir presents their Paint the Town Red celebration.
One of the highlights of the Ballet Chicago Studio Company's Platinum Anniversary Concerts this Saturday will be the World Premiere of Frank Chaves' Ascension. Chaves worked with composer Josephine Lee, who will perform her original composition for Ascension live with cellist Meena Cho at the Harris Theater performances.

We asked the choreographers whose works will be presented in Ballet Chicago's Platinum Anniversary Concerts on May 6 to choose a photo from their piece, and give us an inside look at what that photo captures -- about the Ballet Chicago Studio Company performers, about the Company's vision, and about their own perspective.
