With additional funding this year from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Festival is thrilled to feature a performance each evening by Ballet West.

The company will perform:

• Fall Into Loving Arms, choreographed by Tom Mattingly
• Chaconne – Grand Pas de Deux, choreographed by George Balanchine© The George Balanchine Trust
• Don Quixote – Wedding Pas de Deux and Sawn Lake Pas de Deux, both choreographed by Marius Petipa
