A hybrid music ensemble and production hub that puts "a new face on classical music" (NPR Deceptive Cadence) The Nouveau Classical Project creates imaginative work through collaborations between the classical music and fashion worlds. The ensemble joins forces with choreographer Barbie Diewald, and composer Trevor Gureckis to create 'Potential Energies,' a bold, new ballet where musicians transcend their conventional roles. Individual musician and dancer pairs act as two sides to a single identity, attempting to reconcile ambitions with reality. Inspired by the emerging adulthood of the Millennial Generation, the arduous journey of artists, hope and rude awakenings, 'Potential Energies' is a daring undertaking by artists who are not only creating this work, but also living it.
