Youth X 3 — a collaboration among three, youth performing companies: the CEC Youth Ballet Company, the Greater Miami Youth Symphony String Ensemble and the Manny Perez Vocal Studio Ensemble — will perform on Saturday, Mar. 7, 8 p.m., at the New World School of the Arts, 25 NE Second St.
Other guests in this performance include students from the New World School of the Arts Dance Department and Ballet East, which is based in West Palm Beach, as well as pianists from Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts (CEC).
The grace and artistic level of the dancers and musicians performing at Youth X 3 is a rare find in Miami, combining artistic integrity, innovation, and collaboration. Three of South Florida’s most advanced and professional youth organizations will present their “crème de la crème” in one evening.
The CEC Youth Ballet Company will present several world premieres in this program including Inscapes by company director Patricia Strauss and Mangroves, a contemporary piece by award-winning choreographer, Danella Bedford.
Other choreographers include Gerard Ebitz; Miami City Ballet principal dancers Jennifer Kronenberg and Carlos Guerra, who choreographed Facets, a ballet piece exclusively for this company; classics staged by internationally known ballerina Maria Teresa del Real, and renowned Spanish dancer and choreographer, Marisol Moreno, whose Escuela Bolera piece bears witness to the versatility and strength of the dancers in the CEC Youth Ballet Company.
