Duke it Out pairs the classical (Tchaikovsky) and jazz (Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn, transcription by James Stephenson) versions of the holiday favorite, performed by Music Institute Ensembles-in-Residence Axiom Brass and Quintet Attacca. Providing a visual illustration of the two musical versions are dance students, ages 8 to 18, from Foster Dance Company, the performing ensemble of Foster Dance Studios and Chicago-area professional dancers, totaling approximately 60 dancers. Choreography is by Ronn Stewart, Sarah Goldstone and Phil Brooks.
This morning of music for families, which is sponsored by First Bank & Trust, begins at 9:00am with an open house in the Nichols Concert Hall lobby. There will be two shows of the Nutcracker one at 10:00am and the second at 11:45am. Kids can enjoy playing a variety of instruments at the Music Institute Instrument Petting Zoo, parents can talk with faculty and staff, and everyone can take advantage of special discounts on lessons and classes.
