This weekend, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, in collaboration with Dance Kaleidoscope, invites the community to an evocative performance that intertwines classical music with contemporary dance. The event, titled "Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra: New World with Dance Kaleidoscope," promises a cultural feast for the senses, celebrating the Christel DeHaan Legacy Concert series.

The performances, which will take place at Clowes Memorial Hall, located at 4602 Sunset Ave, Indianapolis, IN, are scheduled for Saturday, May 18 at 7pm and Sunday, May 19 at 2pm. Audience members will be treated to a unique interpretation of Dvořák’s “New World Symphony,” a piece renowned for its incorporation of elements inspired by Indigenous peoples and Negro spirituals. The choreography, crafted by Dance Kaleidoscope’s Associate Artistic Director Stuart Lewis, is set to bring a fresh perspective to the symphony’s profound themes.

In addition to Dvořák’s masterpiece, the program will feature the revival of David Hochoy’s 2008 choreography for Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, a work that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
