Brigitte’s hippie-chic sound combines influences from retro-folk, lounge-pop to French cabaret in this throwback ‘60s revivalist performance. In 2011, Brigitte released their first album Et vous, tu m’aimes?

Aurélie Saada and Sylvie Hoarau explore elements of desire and drive with colorful words and whispering trills in this lavish Luckman debut.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s bold vision – top global choreographers, distinctive revolutionary works, and virtuoso dancers – has fostered a jewel of a dance company in the American West.

Now nearly two decades old, the company has been shaping the cultural landscape of these communities and influencing the dance field at large.
