INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Classical Tahoe and Lake Tahoe Dance Collective (LTDC) will present the second annual “Music in Motion” on Saturday, July 25, at the Classical Tahoe Ricardi Pavilion at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe. The sold-out performance brings together live chamber music and world-class dance, featuring principal dancers from New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and Ballet Arizona, all accompanied by Classical Tahoe musicians.

“Music in Motion has added a marvelous new dimension to Classical Tahoe’s summer lineup,” said Laura Hamilton, artistic director of Classical Tahoe. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the great artists from Lake Tahoe Dance Collective. We look forward to building on the partnership in the future – the sky’s the limit.”

First introduced during Classical Tahoe’s 2025 season, “Music in Motion” was created to unite live chamber music and professional ballet. Following a successful debut, the performance continues to strengthen the partnership between Classical Tahoe and LTDC while bringing nationally recognized artists together on one stage.

“‘Music in Motion’ reflects what can happen when artists from different disciplines come together with a shared commitment to excellence,” said Christin Hanna, Lake Tahoe Dance Collective founder and artistic director. “Working alongside Classical Tahoe has allowed us to create an experience that audiences cannot find anywhere else in the region and we are excited to continue building on that collaboration.”

The program features artists Indiana Woodward, Taylor Stanley, Daniel Ulbricht, Lia Cirio, Paul Craig, Esteban Hernandez, Melody Mennite, Sierra Armstrong, Andrew Robare, Kate Loxtercamp and Ethan Price. The dancers will be accompanied by Classical Tahoe musicians led by pianist Anna Stoytcheva and a chamber ensemble of strings, winds and horn. Highlights include choreography by George Balanchine, Antony Tudor and Johan Kobborg and music by Maurice Ravel, Antonín Dvořák, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Francis Poulenc and others.

“Music in Motion” is one of several collaborative performances featured during Classical Tahoe’s 15th anniversary season. See the full summer lineup HERE.
