Dance music has been a part of the repertoire as long as orchestras have existed. Wallingford Riegger explores American rhythms in his 1930s work. Aaron Copland's work embodies the controlled passion of the Danzon. Finally we have Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, a work so famous Walt Disney chose to set it (for dancing Hippos and Alligators) in Fantasia. Remember to stay in your seats!

Features all four PYP ensembles and an alumni orchestra • WALLINGFORD RIEGGER: New Dance • COPLAND: Danzon Cubano PONCHIELLI: Dance of the Hours
