CONCERTO FOR LA DONNA
Concerto for La Donna eballet that appeals to a wide audience. It is constructed on a score by Max Bruch that is lush, with a level of machismo. The piece creates long visual legatos when the orchestra is racing, plays with extending the spirals of wrap-around fish dives or leaves the principals posed stack-still while the orchestra reaches for its biggest crescendo. Gamonet himself commented on his selection of the score by Bruch. "I see in the music a collage of influences, including suggestions of Tchaikovsky and Mozart, with wonderful musical phrases and changes. I chose the title, Concerto For La Donna, because I hear the music as a romantic, and yes -- very feminine -- composition.

SONETOS DE AMOR Y MUERTE
Argentine folk songs and poems of love and death were the inspiration for this romantic work, in which three couples celebrate different types of love. Each of the main duets, dance to richly emotional music by Jose Cura, Carlos Gustavino, Alberto Ginastera and Maria Elena Walsh. A soundscape of music and words surrounds the dancers, who capture and convey the emotional weight of each piece, and use the act of physical communication to show us universal themes of loss, longing and undying devotion.

PURPLE BEND I
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, music remarkable for its melodic and penetrating emotional properties, inspired this examination of space and form, and the resulting play between symmetry and asymmetry. This duet was to be for a couple of the same sex and designed with strict spatial boundaries, focusing movement into a precise and sometimes sculptural vision. The greatest challenge of this piece was to create a dance that could transcend the physical disparities between female and male couples, some structural and some societal. As a result, the classic pas de deux remains: big lifts, fine for the men but fairly impossible for the women, and dancing en pointe, a technique traditionally taught only to the women.

JUBILO
Choreographed to Wynton Marsalis’s Jubilo, this ballet is a fusion of classicism with American movement traditions, an artistic concept understood viscerally by the composer, who himself was uniquely capable of merging the supple and life-giving groove of jazz with classical formalities. Marsalis doesn’t take your hand and lead you through a door and down a clear path with his music. He opens many doors. The importance of Wynton Marsalis to the field of American music cannot be overstated. He bridged the idioms, jazz and classical, and won Grammy Awards for both. In 1997, he became the first jazz composer to win a Pulitzer Prize, an honor reserved to that point for classical musicians.
