May 8 at 7  PM • May 9 at 1 PM & 5 PM • Soirée following the 5 PM showing

Moonlight in Motion, presented by Movement Migration, is an intimate evening of live piano and modern dance. The program centers on celebrated works by composers Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Ludwig van Beethoven, including the beloved “Moonlight Sonata” and reflective “Nocturne in A-flat Major, Op. 32” performed alongside the dancers by pianist Claudio Olivera. 

The program reflects the enduring presence of light in times of darkness, while holding space for our shared search for love and peace.

Guests of the Saturday evening performance are invited by Artistic Director Kim Jones to stay for the Movement Migration Soirée, a chance to meet the artists, board members, and staff, share conversation with company members, and celebrate the artistry of the evening.

The program unfolds in the intimate setting of The Long Room on May 8 and 9, bringing together the enduring resonance of these compositions through the expressive power of movement. 

Tickets: General Admission: $30 | Saturday Soirée + Show: $40.
