Ballerina Michelle Ramos performs with Orchestra of Southern Utah
By Tanisa Crosby
Ballerina Michelle Ramos will perform with the Orchestra of Southern Utah Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Heritage Center Theater in Cedar City.
“Memorable Music Tales” is the theme for February’s concert. It will feature a medley from “Lord of the Rings.” Alongside the children’s choir, the orchestra will also perform Peter Pan Suite from the motion picture “Peter Pan.” It will perform popular tunes that many know from classic cartoons such as the waltz from “Sleeping Beauty” and selections from “Swan Lake,” both by Tchaikovsky. Another story that will be told through music will be the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale of Hansel and Gretel in the overture to the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck.
Ramos is a performance and choreography specialist with a focus on ballet, contemporary ballet, and the development of the mind and body as an instrument of art.
“My work as a dancer and choreographer is based on experience, observation and imagination,” Ramos wrote in her artist statement on her website. “I strive to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. I play with the possibilities and share the result with the audience, hoping it will leave a meaningful imprint on their lives, that it may be of use to all of us.”
Tickets cost $12 for adults and $6 for students. Children 6 and older are welcome to attend. For more information, contact OSU manager Rebekah Hughes at (435) 592-6051 or osucedarcity@gmail.com.
