Encounter something new or reacquaint yourself with a classic in a whole new way, but certainly expect the unexpected. The daring young performers of Decoda—Ensemble Connect alumni—will keep you on your toes when they take the stage in a program where high spirits prevail. There’s the revelry of Lutosławski’s folk-flavored dances, the impish laughter of Strauss’s madcap trickster, a new work by ensemble member Brad Balliett with images by Will Storie that evoke merry pranks, and much more.
