    Music

    "Every year our students get stronger, expand their vocabulary, improve their technique, and develop their artistry. Celebrate how far each of our students have come this year at Midland Festival Ballet's 2024 Showcase: Tchaikovsky's Musical Gifts! All of the music from this year’s Showcase is composed by Tchaikovsky, primarily from his first hit ballet score, The Sleeping Beauty. You’ll probably recognize most of the music; Disney’s animated film version actually uses Tchaikovsky’s score! In the original ballet, there are 6 fairies that bring gifts to the baby Princess Aurora. Each fairy has a variation, or solo, during which she bestows her gift. These musical gifts were the inspiration for this year’s showcase theme. To enhance their performing experience, each level has been learning about Tchaikovsky, the story, and even some of the original choreography. We’ve also enjoyed watching them use their imagination to personify these gifts with their movements."
