Composer Tim Hinck Teams with Ballet Esprit
Composer Tim Hinck teams with Ballet Esprit for two major events in the 2024-2025 performance season. Sharing a connection to work that is elemental, raw, and yet classically refined, these artists are joining forces for two unique events:
Thurs. August 15 | 6p at Hunter Museum of American Art
10 Bluff View
Chattanooga, TN 37403
and
Thurs. August 29 | 6p at Lookout Lake
3408 Elder Mountain Rd.
Chattanooga, TN 37419
(Outdoor, lakeside performance)
Composer Tim Hinck, whose work was recently described by one delighted conductor as "introducing me to new sounds" will compose two musical pieces. In turn this music will be choreographed by Ballet Esprit's Sarah Yvonne. The dancers and musicians, led by Yvonne, will explode onto the stage with their trademark primal energy, yet refined technique.
