The East Metro Symphony Orchestra (EMSO), will present the
second program of its 2016-2017 concert series, A Season of Stories, a series celebrating
different story themes through music.
The program, Chapter Two: Holiday
Dreams, will be presented in collaboration with the Woodbury Dance Center
(WDC), and feature a fresh take on Peter Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. The performance
will take place on Sunday December 18, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. at East Ridge High

EMSO
and WDC will once again present The
Nutcracker with a new twist, not only presenting the story through
classical ballet, but also with contemporary, tap, and other styles of dance
throughout the performance. WDC dancers,
ranging from elementary to high school age, will be accompanied on stage by
EMSO’s full symphony orchestra, along with a live rendition of the story’s
narration. A meet-and-greet with all of the
concert’s performers and refreshments will immediately follow the performance.
