Join Louisville Ballet for a production that celebrates the life and artistry of the late Alun Jones. Alun led Louisville Ballet as Artistic Director for almost a quarter of a century, elevating the Company and the Louisville community with his choreographic expertise, his design flair, and visionary artistic leadership.
This production was developed alongside the incomparable Helen Starr, Alun’s wife, artistic partner, and Louisville Ballet dancer. She has played a critical role in bringing these works and Alun’s artistic vision to the stage once again.
