favorite singers, is as
fresh and appealing today as
it was when it debuted in
1994. Robert Sund, former
San Francisco Ballet
principal, has created his
Carmen to the music of Miles
Davis' "Sketches of Spain" —
a jazzy interpretation of
the classic story of
romantic competition. Amy
Seiwert, Smuin Ballet dancer
and choreographer, will
debut her 7th new work for
the Company! Called "a
rising star" by Michael
Smuin, Ms. Seiwert has been
recognized by Dance Magazine

Objects of Curiosity was a
hit with critics and
