PineCone favorites The Steel Wheels return with songs to get us through hard times and hard choices and into a brighter tomorrow.  “As a band,” says frontman Trent Wagler, “our aim is to make music that acknowledges the pain and difficulty of the moment, but takes a step back to look at the harmony we can create through all that life throws at us." Harmony, both musical and universal, is at the core of the Virginia-based folk-rock band’s sound. And you’ll feel it in the audience, too.

The Spring Season opens with a playful and unique interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s “Boléro”, choreographed by the imaginative Lynne Taylor-Corbett. A “perfect” couple prepares for a “perfect” day at the beach. 

“The elements conspire against them to ruin their day,” Taylor-Corbett explains. “It’s just a pure, unadulterated fantasy.” 

Included in this program is a new ballet from Amy Hall Garner.

PROGRAM INCLUDES:

Boléro by Lynne Taylor-Corbett
World Premiere by Amy Hall Garner
