Alonzo King LINES Ballet

The stunning Alonzo King LINES Ballet performs in Philadelphia for the very first time. Praised for “gripping, urgently beautiful choreography” by “one of the few bona fide visionaries in the ballet world” (San Francisco Chronicle), the company’s program includes Ode to Alice Coltrane, a radiant tribute to a jazz icon. This spiritually charged work spotlights King’s evocative style, the dancers’ impeccable technique and the sonic expansiveness of Coltrane’s beloved masterpieces. “A feast for the eyes” (The Boston Globe), this sparkling debut promises a transcendent experience, as King’s “ballets have a way of sailing through sensations, of calming the nervous system, of realigning the body and mind” (The New York Times).

Single tickets will go on sale in early August.

The 26/27 season dance series is co-sponsored by Arthur Kaplan, C’67 and Duane Perry alongside Lynn Jerath, W’95 and Kunal Jerath.
