In keeping with our tradition, this year's production will feature music, dance and vocals, including the award-winning duo Roxana Marinoff and Cesar Davalos whose exceptional musicality and dance craftsmanship will stun audiences. Local performer, Mattie Mount, will amaze with her impressive tap dancing skills. And to round out the dance portion of the production, Columbia Classical Ballet will join Ensemble Eclectica! Three styles of dance, one stage!
Clayton King and Tracy Steel will also serve as co-emcees for the evening. And new this year, acclaimed Poet Laureate Ed Madden will take the stage to share one of his poems in a unique way-accompanied by live music. Throughout the evening, photography by Jim Guzel will be used to further enhance the production.
Maestra Suzanna Pavlovsky, CEO, Artistic and Music Director of Ensemble Eclectica!, describes the show as a unique approach to blending diverse sounds and genres.
