Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra come together this weekend for Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. PBT Artistic Director Adam McKinney speaks with Anna Singer by phone about the collaboration.
PBT will perform Mark Godden’s choreography, Angels in the Architecture, which is a tribute to communities of the Shaker religious sect. The performance will feature the set pieces from the ballet’s premiere of Angels in Architecture earlier this year. Adam talks about how special it is to dance with live musicians, and the beauty of Copland’s music.

Performances take place at Heinz Hall on Friday, June 19th at 7:30pm, Saturday, June 20th at 7:30pm, and on Sunday, June 21st at 2:30pm.
