Set to Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E flat Major for Violin, Viola, and Orchestra K.364, Symphonie Concertante pairs two principal dancers with the solo violin and viola. A luminous, elegantly simple structure unfolds across this three-part ballet as the dancers weave in and out
of the music in fluid, continuous dialogue.
